Teen Summer Reading Events Come to a Close at Way Public Library

Way Public Library would like to thank everyone that helped to make this year’s teen summer reading program a great success!  A special thank you goes to Owens Illinois and the Way Public Library Foundation and Friends for their contribution to the reading program.  Fourteen events for students, ages 11-15, were held at the library over the course of the six week program with a total attendance of nearly 300 students.  Teens were also encouraged to write brief reviews for each item read throughout the summer.  More than 250 reviews were submitted during the program. 

Special events included a photo contest, a Wii gaming tournament, Potato Art, Teen Jeopardy, a Shark Week party, crafting with duct tape, an Indiana Jones Film Festival, designing a pet rock, Pizza and Pages Teen Book Club, and CRP and First Aid for Babysitters. 

By attending summer reading events, teens were automatically entered into an end-of-summer grand prize raffle for an Ipad Mini.  Pictured below is winner, Hannah Dailey.

 

Teen programming will resume in September, starting with Pizza & Pages Teen Book Club on Friday, September 13th at 7:00pm.
