  • Register for Teen Read Week - Posted Friday, September 16, 2011

    Picture It @ Your Library – October 16-22, 2011

    TRW_partnerlogo_webRegistration is now open for Teen Read Week 2011! Visit the TRW site http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/teenreading/trw/trw2011/home.cfm to register, find ideas and products, use publicity tools and more. This year’s theme, “Picture It @ Your Library,” encourages teens to read graphic novels and other illustrated materials, seek out creative books, or imagine the world through literature, just for the fun of it.

    Teen Read Week is an initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/yalsa.cfm (YALSA).

    Libraries across the world celebrate Teen Read Week with a variety of special events and programs aimed at encouraging teens to read for pleasure and to visit their libraries for free reading materials.

    Why is it important to celebrate? For a lot of reasons! Teens have so many options for entertainment, so it’s important to remind them to spend time reading for pleasure: it’s free, fun, and can be done anywhere. Research shows that teens who read for fun have better test scores and are more likely to succeed in the workforce. Also, it’s a great chance to let your school or your public library communities know how important teen services are. Let teens know the possibilities that exist within your doors, and within the covers of books.

    Now is the perfect time to begin planning your Teen Read Week celebration. Get started by:

    · Meeting Jay Asher http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/teenreading/trw/trw2011/trw_ashe... , author of Thirteen Reasons Why and 2011 Teen Read Week Spokesperson.

  • YA author Paul Volponi - Posted Friday, September 16, 2011

    My new novel, Crossing Lines (Viking) has just come out, and I believe it will spark great discussion among students about bullying in our schools. It is narrated by a macho high school football player whose sister’s best friend—the only boy in the fashion club—first comes to school in lipstick, and then a dress. Hence, our narrator is caught between his football friends’ idea of what’s right and trying to find a viewpoint of his own.

    Booklist said, “This quick-reading, tightly constructed novel will provoke substantive questions, making it a great choice for group discussion.”

    I hope you will read the opening chapters to Crossing Lines at paulvolponibooks.com.

    Also, please be aware that I will soon be scheduling Skype video conferences for the 2011-2012 school year for English classes, book clubs and library groups reading my novels.

    During a video conference, which usually lasts about 45-minutes (the average length of a class), I tell about the background of my ALA award winning young adult novels, discuss the writing process, answer questions about my work, ask the students questions about themselves, and encourage students in their own writing. The conferences usually go very well, and a great time is generally had by all, including me. I keep the honorarium at a very low $200.

    Sincerely,

    Paul Volponi
