“When asked for advice on how to be a writer, I feel very like an elephant who has been asked to give a talk to a bunch of elephants on how to be an elephant.”

John Green - Cincinnati Library 10/15/12 But you are one of the best elephants of them all.  So I think it’s valid.

Tell us about your Teen Read Week & win a prize!

August has rolled its lovely, lazy head around, which, for some of us, turns a little switch, and those fall thoughts start creeping in -- can't help it, not sure if we like it, but try as we might, we're planning. The urge to prepare for back-to-school fun starts nudging its way into our consciousness, and so the gears start turning: "What's going on? What are we going to do?"

What's sure to be exciting at your school or library this fall? Teen Read Week, of course! October 14-20 is the time to drum up some spooky fun and show teens all the treasures lurking in your library. We know how much fun you're going to have have sharing It Came from the Library with teens and their families. Starting today, we want to hear from you!

Tell us about all the cool things you've done or are going to do, and your responses will be considered by YALSA for inclusion in next year's TRW Manual. We're going to run a contest on Twitter and Facebook, with a different downloadable prize for each randomly chosen winner.

On our Facebook page, tell us: What’s been your favorite or most successful Teen Read Week project?

 The randomly chosen Facebook winner will get the NEW NEW NEW TRW READ Poster File.

On Twitter, we want to know: What’s your most unique way to engage teens at the library?

Our Twitter winner will get a copy of the TRW Manual Download.

Reply to us here on Tumblr and you'll be entered in both drawings!

One entry per person per media. Deadline for both contests is August 24.
