MESSAGE:

 

The last day to register for Teen Read Week is Monday, Sept. 17th - in
just one week! Don't wait any longer.  Register today.  It's free and
easy to do.  Simply visit YALSA's Teen Read Week webpage at
www.ala.org/teenread and click on Register Now. 
 
Officially registering helps YALSA in many ways, such as securing
funding for important projects like the 2007 World Book - ALA Goal
Award.  TRW registration figures played an important part in YALSA's
successful application for this $10,000 grant to improve teen library
services in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

 

All YALSA members who register will receive a free paperback book,
courtesy of Teen Read Week Promotional Partner Scholastic.  More than
one person can register per Library system.

 

Other opportunities you'll find at the Teen Read Week webpage include:

 

Information about how your Library could win a visit with author Tiffany
Trent, courtesy of YALSA and Mirrorstone Books, by submitting your Teen
Read Week activity as a contender for this year's best Teen Read Week
program.

 

Booklists, our Teen Read Week wiki and other resources to help your
Library celebrate.

 

The first 50 regular members to join YALSA via the TRW page will receive
the Chronicles for Young Readers gift set by Margaret Weis and Tracy
Hickman courtesy Mirrorstone Books; they will also receive nine Michael
L. Printz Award-winning titles courtesy of Penguin Books for Young
Readers.

 

I know many of you will be actively celebrating Teen Read Week in a
variety of creative, dynamic ways, so why wait?  Register today!
