2013 Teen Summer Reading Program at the Vicksburg District Library -- Dead and Buried (Beneath the Surface!)


We had a truly exceptional year this summer with our summer reading program for both kids and teens alike!  Over 70 teens signed up for the "Beneath the Surface" reading program and almost half as many reached the 30 minutes per day goal!  Congrats, everyone!!  It was one of our best summers yet! 

To see all of the photos from the events this summer, please check out our Facebook page.  We'd also love to hear what you thought of our program this year. Please take a moment to fill out this quick survey about our Summer Reading Program.  And thank you to everyone that helped make the program a success as well as everyone that attended the final luau party.  We had a great time!!

But there is still plenty of summer left -- you can still come down to the library to check out our new Young Adult (YA) books.  We add dozens of new titles at least once a month.  Also, come down to check out our cool new "REEL BOOKS" display -- your guide to all of the books that are going to be made into movies over the next year -- books like "The Fault in Our Stars," "Catching Fire," "Divergent," "City of Bones," and more!!  You can check them out and read 'em before you go see the movie here at the Vicksburg District Library.   

 Lastly, just a reminder that weekly teen programming will resume on Tuesdays from 3-4pm on September 10 (the week after school begins)!  We have lots of fun things coming up this fall -- including a back to school trivia challenge, a Banned Books poster contest, a cook-off, and a Fear Factor eating challenge.  Come on down and hang out with us on Tuesday afternoons!

Also, we are always looking for teens to meet on the last Thursdays of every month from 3-4 to be a part of our Teen Advisory Board (TAB).  TAB gets to help plan programs, help pick out books and movies to add to the library's collection, and may be able to get credit for school volunteer hours.    

Any questions or comments?  Contact me, Beth -- the Teen Librarian -- at 649-1648 or at bdowson@vicksburglibrary.org.  Hope to see you soon!!
