Brown Library Celebrates Teen Read Week

October Young Adult Display:
Teen Read Week, Oct 16 - 22

This month, Brown Library is celebrating Teen Read Week with a special display in our Young Adult area, complete with themed books for check-out, and free bookmarks and pencils to snag!

"Teen Read Week is an initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). Teen Read Week started in 1998. This year's theme is Picture It @ your library®, which encourages teens to read graphic novels and other illustrated materials, seek out creative books, or imagine the world through literature, just for the fun of it. Libraries across the world celebrate Teen Read Week with a variety of special events and programs aimed at encouraging teens to read for pleasure and to visit their libraries for free reading materials." (from YALSA website)

In keeping with this year's theme, we've displayed art and photography collections, graphic novels, and a few how-to-draw titles. Be sure to swing by the display, and get inspired!
