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

Spring
Challenge Reading Competition! |
Congratulations to R2M3 (Reading
Mayhem), our small but well-read team! Our five members
made a respectable showing at the Spring Challenge Reading
Competition held at Easton Area High School on April
17, 2008. Our team members come 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 against much larger teams! They
won two out of three rounds!

Interested
in joining our team next year? 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. First,
check with your school librarian to see if your school
is forming a team. If not, send an e-mail to teenlibr@yahoo.com
to get info about joining our team. The competition
is usually held in April, but we'll start forming the
team in the fall.
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.
