Updates to this blog's side bar--and prizes!

If you look to the right side of this blog --> You'll see that I have a few fun or informational things for you to look at/use. There is first of all, a cute picture from the Christmas party (post-snowball fight!), then there is a list of our up-coming events and the dates they'll take place on, after that is a list of interesting blog's of YA authors or book reviews--if you're ever stuck wondering what to read next these are excellent places to look! Then I've got some useful links to fun websites like freerice.com and Teen Ink- a magazine that has only articles and work written by teens. Then there's a little About Sti thing, because I know you need to know more :P and there's also a few random selections from My Bookshelf so you can see what books I've been reading and enjoyed!

Okay, here's where the prizes come in! If you have time, explore a few of the links I've put up and tell me which you've liked best or give me a suggestion of a blog or website I should feature for you and the other teens who read this blog!

  Summer is fast approaching and if you have a high school reader, you might be looking for new titles to engage them this summer. Librarian, historian, and author Alexandria Brown has allowed us to share their recommended lists to help make that easier! Per their blog*: As a high school librarian, offering reading recommendations for students is one of my favorite parts of my job. These lists are for parents, library workers, and teen readers... I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always

I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti
