INKLINGS,
Issue 1, June '08
A dedicated group of Teen Advisory Board
members from each of the libraries in the county are starting
a 'zine--a homemade magazine featuring writing by area teens.
The 'zine will be online through this website; there will
also be a limited number of print copies available in the
local public libraries. Send us your work! If you'd like
to submit your original poetry, short stories, book reviews,
essays, etc. to the 'zine, click
here for guidelines for submission.
Check back later to see when the next Zine planning meeting
will be. New members
are always welcome.

Spring
Challenge Reading Competition! |
Congratulations to That Library
Team, our very well-read public libraries team! All
ten of our team members did a great job at the Spring
Challenge Reading Competition held at Easton Area High
School on April 23, 2009. They tied for 6th place out
of 25 teams! Our team members came from Eastern Monroe,
Clymer, & Pocono Mountain Public Libraries. They
read a lot (from a list of 45 books) to prepare for
the competition and did a great job answering some very
difficult questions! They won two rounds and tied the
other. Congratulations also to the other Teen Advisory
Board members who competed on their schools' teams--everyone
should be proud of the time, effort, and enthusiasm
that goes into this event!
The Associated
Libraries of Monroe County team is the only team from
public libraries. All the other teams are from area
high schools. The competition is open to students in
grades 9-12. We'll start forming our 2010 team in the
fall, so stay tuned for info on how and when to sign
up.
Each
team needs to be familiar with the books on the reading
list--a total of 45 books! Click on the link below
to see this year's reading list. The teams compete against
each other in quiz show format.
