Bookmark Design Contest Winners will be Announced Starting the Week of April 29, 2013.

The First Annual Summer Reading Bookmark Design Contest for Grades Pre-K through Adults has come to a close.

Have you thought about living in Panem? What would it be like? What would you eat?
Could you survive the Hunger Games if you were selected to go?

The summer is heating up and so are your local libraries.
There are events for teens nearly every week until the start of school.
Call your local library for more information.

Teens are invited to come (free of cost) to join librarians, authors and teachers in discussing their favorites in teen literature.

The morning guest speaker will be Kenneth Oppel, author of Darkwing, Sunwing and Silverwing.

In the afternoon, Melissa Marr, author of the Wicked Lovely series, will be joining local author Felicia Pride for a panel discussion.

Books for the Beast will be held on Saturday, October 22, 2011.
