Spring
Challenge Reading Competition! |
Readioactive
Shines!
Congratulations
to Readioactive, our very well-read public libraries
team! All 12 of our team members did an awesome job
at the Spring Challenge Reading Competition held at
Easton Area High School on April 25. Our team members came from Barrett Paradise Friendly, Pocono Mountain Public, &
Eastern Monroe 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! 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 2014 team in the
fall; come to the Teen Advisory Board meetings 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 links below
to see this year's reading list and the new 2014 list. The teams compete against
each other in quiz show format.
