Next week is Teen Read Week! This is a week that spotlights the importance of reading in the lives of teens. We know you have a lot of other things on your plate: school, extra-curricular activities, family and friends and that there are a lot of other things you could do with your time besides read. But the American Library Association (ALA) wants everyone to know how awesome reading is--something you probably already know. But, did you know that teens who read for fun score higher on tests and 'are more likely to succeed in the workforce.' Isn't that cool? I think it is. :)
So I'll be spotlighting Books with Bite (mostly vampire/zombie/monsters, maybe some books about food too. Mmmm food. Now I'm hungry).
I'll also be showing a classic horror movie with some bite. On Wednesday October 15th at 6:30 we'll be watching Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. There will be snacks and drinks as well!
And in honor of Teen Read Week, I'll be giving a prize to the first person who comments on this post! :)
Hope you get bitten by a good book soon,
