Congratulations to everyone who read for the fun of it and participated in the Sock It To Me contest!

For every book or movie you check out, get a drawing entry ticket and a chance to win a stocking full of books, movies and more! Choose from two stockings: Drama or Fantasy. This contest is open to teens, ages 11 - 18. Tickets are available at your school's library until the break, and at the youth check-out desk at Bud Werner Library during the contest.

The drawing will be held after January 1. You don't have to be present to win.

For more information and to see the list of prizes for each stocking, come by the teen area in the library. This holiday, you can win prizes when you read for the fun of it!

Join teens, just like you, all around the country in celebration of Teen Read Week and Teen Amnesty Week.

Teen Read Week is your chance to vote for your favorite books from the last year. Vote between October 14 and October 20 by clicking here. Teen Read Week is sponsored by YALSA. Read more about Teen Read Week at www.ala.org/yalsa.

Teen Amnesty Week is your chance to set your library fines to $0. When you visit the Library, talk to the person at the check-out desk. Let them know that you want amnesty. Write down why you had fines on the whiteboard above the new teen books, and then all your fees and fines are waived. Take advantage of Teen Amnesty Week and start over with a clean slate!
