Teentober - October 2024

 

 


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 our Calendar of Events page at Central Mississippi Regional Library System Events (https://cmrls.trumba.com/) for all the juicy details! 


The Top 5 Most Circulated Books are:

1.    Crown of Midnight: A Throne of Glass Novel by Sarah J MaasAs 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 MaasAfter 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.

3.    Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross - Two weeks after returning home from the front, Iris and Attie seize another chance to report on Dacre's movements. Roman, who has lost his memory and is stuck in Dacre's realm, becomes entangled in a mysterious pen pal correspondence, leading to a pivotal decision that could impact the course of the war and his relationship with Iris.

4.    Divergent by Veronica Roth - In a future Chicago, sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.

5.    Scarlet by Marissa Meyer - Scarlet Benoit and Wolf, a street fighter who may have information about her missing grandmother, join forces with Cinder as they try to stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana in this story inspired by Little Red Riding Hood.
