If you're reading this blog, you probably enjoy reading in general. But even if you don't love reading, I know you love prizes! This summer, Henderson District Public Libraries offers you a Teen Summer Reading Program with the opportunity to win some very cool stuff, including gift cards to your favorite stores, food, and go-kart racing.
What do you have to do for a chance to win? It's simple. Register for the SRP online here or at your nearest library. Whenever you read throughout the summer, log your minutes online. Log five hours by midnight on Sunday each week, and you will be entered into weekly raffles. Here's the raffle schedule:

Green Valley Library Teen Advisory Group
Green Valley Library is starting a new Teen Advisory Group, and I would love to see you all there.
Teen Advisory Group, or TAG, comprises teens from 12-18 who are interested in contributing to the library in a fun, meaningful way. What you do is up to you-- pitching in to plan and conduct teen events, performing community service projects, working with children, helping librarians select the best books to order, etc. If you have an idea that would improve the library experience for you or other teens, you are welcome to share.
Furthermore, we need a new name for the TAG! Please share ideas in the comments here OR at the meeting. Our second meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 9 at 4:30 p.m. in the program room. Snacks are provided, and it's a great chance to meet new people. You can register online here, or you can just drop in if you are a rebel who simply refuses to register!

Teen Spot is Back!
This blog has been very quiet for a long time, but we're hoping to turn things around with your help!
Henderson District Public Libraries is looking for teens ages 12-17 who are interested in promoting their favorite books or community events by writing short reviews or articles for publication in this very blog. If you have an interest in writing or editing entries, please contact Jessica Sullenberger, Teen Services Librarian at Green Valley Library by e mail: jdsullenberger@hdpl.org. Let's get the communication and creativity flowing, please!
Do you have suggestions about books or other materials you would like to see in your Henderson Library? Feel free to leave a comment. What about teen programs? Do you know how much we offer for teens year round? What are we missing? We would really love to hear your input. If you'd like to get involved beyond the blog, ask someone at your closest library about the Teen Advisory Groups at Paseo Verde and Green Valley, also known as the YAK (Young Adult Krew) at the Gibson Library.
To find teen programs (some upcoming events include anime club, altered books, a Harry Potter party, open craft time, nature survival skills, and candle making), visit our events calendar and set the age group to "teen" before you search.
And, of course, feel free to pay us a visit at the library.
