The Place to Go When You Need to Know
October 2015
October 18th-24th - Teen Read Week
If it’s October, it’s Teen Read Week.
This year’s theme is Get Away and what better place to do that then @yourlibrary.
Teens can escape from the day to day grind of school, homework, family responsibilities, part time jobs and so on by picking up something to read. (fantasy novels, sci-fi, beach reads, travel books, tales of adventure and escape, and more!)

Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin--one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen
A New York Times bestseller
"Saint Anything is a poignant, honest story about how we might suffer the misfortune of someone else's bad choices, how people who love us can become family when we desperately need it, and how starting over might - miraculously - mean taking a solid leap forward." —Jodi Picoult
