This year’s
TeenTober theme is all about the thrilling question: “What will you discover at
the library?” That’s right, folks! October is the month where libraries throw a
big, teen-tastic bash just for you! Out with Teen Read and in with TeenTober,
where we’re all about celebrating teen library services and the awesome ways
they help you dive into new skills and ignite your passions—both in the library
and beyond!
We’re rolling out
the red carpet for all reading fans: from books to magazines, eBooks to comics,
and even audiobooks! Plus, we’ve got a treasure trove of programs just for
teens. TeenTober is your ticket to discovering these programs, reveling in the
joy of YA lit, and showing the world how much our libraries cherish their teen
patrons!
Hey parents! Did
you know that reading for fun can boost those test scores? It’s also super
important to chat about reading with your fam and friends. So, spark some
conversations by asking your kids what they’re reading, swing by the library
together, and make reading a daily adventure! We’re cheering on teens, kiddos,
and adults alike to read and get involved with their library and community.
Search for something new to enjoy, explore our resources, or sign up for a
program today!
This October, your
libraries are bursting with programs celebrating all our fabulous teens. Some
branches might host in-person craft sessions, while others offer take-and-make
kits—how cool is that? We’re also dishing out drawing and sewing lessons, plus
game nights galore! Don’t miss out—check with your local library or hop over to

The Top 5 Most Circulated Books are:
1. Crown
of Midnight: A Throne of Glass Novel by Sarah J Maas – As the royal assassin to an evil king, eighteen-year-old Celaena
Sardothien must decide what she will fight for--survival, love, or the future
of a kingdom.
2.
Throne
of Glass by Sarah J Maas – After serving out a
year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old
assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian
offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a
competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and
assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of
the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations,
she'll serve the kingdom for four years and then be granted her freedom.
Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall,
challenging and exhilarating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a
little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her ... but
it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best. Then one of
the other contestants turns up dead ... quickly followed by another. Can
Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young
assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than
she could possibly have imagined.

a future Chicago, sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five

after all.
