Teen Library Literary Magazine!

A dedicated group of Teen Advisory Board members from each of the libraries in the county publish a 'zine--a homemade online magazine featuring writing and artwork by area teens. Send us your work! If you'd like to submit your original poetry, short stories, book reviews, essays, drawings, photos, etc. to the 'zine, click here for guidelines for submission.

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.
