Tweens Read Display

Our  teen display for September is promoting the Tweens Read Festival.

We selected some of the authors and displayed their books for checkout.

For more information, see below:

"HPL is a partner with the Tweens Read Festival and will be represented there.  It is a great event where tween authors (authors for ages 10-14, roughly) speak to kids (and any adults who come) as well as sign books.  We have been making sure that the authors who are coming are represented in our collections and hope that you will encourage kids to come (you might consider making a display, for instance).   

The authors represent a pretty stellar bunch:

If you would like to attend the festival for your professional development, it is well worth it.  You would need your supervisor’s permission to count it as work time. 

Finally, we no longer have an HPL member on the Tweens Read committee.  If you are at all interested, please talk with your supervisor and let me know.  Meetings tend to be on the southeast side of town during the day (after school).  They begin meeting in the summer and continue up until the festival."
