Teen Read Week is an initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). Teen Read Week started in 1998, making this their 11th celebration of Teen Read Week! It’s important to celebrate for several reasons, Teens have so many options for entertainment, so it's important to remind them to spend time reading for pleasure: it's free, fun, and can be done anywhere! Research shows that teens who read for fun have better test scores and are more likely to succeed in the workforce. Also, it’s a great chance to let your school or your public library communities know how important teen services are! Let teens know the possibilities that exist within your doors, and within the covers of books.

Thanks for the timely heads-up, Jill. Registering at the YALSA site was quick 'n easy, although I think I'm going to have to use the enlarging function on our library's photocopier in order to read the teeny-tiny print on the downloadable pocket brochure!
