Summer Reading Challenge!

I thought it might be fun to see if our Young Adult patrons would respond to a challenge this summer. So I chose an incentive I thought you would enjoy, on top of all the prizes you already receive for joining the reading club during the summer.

The Young Adult Reading Club is still relatively new. It's for ages 11-18 and instead of counting the amount of books/pages that you've read, you keep track of the amount of hours you've read. I think this works really well, it rewards people who don't breeze through books and it challenges those who do!

So. Here is the challenge I'm issuing to all the teens who are planning on joining the Texas Teens Read Summer Reading Club

If you read a total of 5,000 hours I will dye purple streaks in my hair. Another Young Adult, Merrit Rowley has agreed to join me in this challenge.

So, we will go from looking like this:

To looking something like this:

Are you up to it?

DFTBA,
