Mira Costa Teen Read Month

October 16-22 is YALSA’s (the Young Adult Library Services Association) Teen Read Week Celebration, an annual national event sponsored by the Young Adult Division of the American Library Association. At Mira Costa, we are expanding this celebration to the entire month of October, with a whole variety of great activities:

  • Scary Books Exhibit. TLC: The Library Club, our school library service club, has organized a Scary Books exhibit. Come visit and  borrow a scary book to get yourself ready for Halloween!
  • Borrow a book from the Scary Books display or any library book between now and Halloween, and earn a chance to enter TLC: The Library Club’s candy guess contest. Guess the number of candies in the candy jar, and you could be the winner of the whole jar!
  • Enter more contests and win prizes!: Create a bookmark for the Manhattan Beach Public Library Bookmark Contest (entries due to our library October 28). Create a poster for California School Library Association’s @YourLibrary Contest (entries due to our library October 31). Create a a visual photo version of your favorite book for YALSA’s Teen Read Week Photo Contest (entries due October 31).
  • Join The Library Club members as they meet with other library clubs across the U.S. during Lunch and Period 5 on October 19 for a virtual book club discussion of Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games. Ask at the library for more information.
