October 13 -19 is Teen Read Week, a national celebration of reading sponsored by YALSA, the Young Adult Services Association of the American Library Association. This year’s theme is “Seek the Unknown @ Your Library,” encouraging you to explore something new! Each year, YALSA posts books nominated for the “Teens’ Top Ten” by teenagers from all over the United States, and invites teens to vote for the Top Ten of the year.
Please check the list of this year’s nominees, vote for up to three you loved, and consider reading some of the others! You can see many of the nominees and previous years’ winners at the Mira Costa Library. Come by today! Voting for the Teens Top Ten closes October 19, so don’t miss the deadline!
