Rules
for the Teen Challenge
- The Summer Reading Challenge will run from June 22 to August 1, 2009.
- The Teen Summer Reading Program is open to teens entering grade 8 and above.
- Teens need to check out the books they read and report on according to their grade and/or reading level. School summer reading list books may be reported on.
- Teens should then report on their books.
Reporting Options:
Teens may write a book review and post it on the NPL Teenspace blog, or give an oral or written report to the librarian. Each teen may report on or blog about a maximum of six (6) books (any combination of hard cover and/or paperback) per day. If teens choose to give an oral report to the librarian, a maximum of three oral reports may be given per day. The number of oral reports may vary based on the availability of staff and time. If written, the report may be in the form of a picture, drawing, poem, an art and craft, an artifact, or a standard written report or book review.
- Oral reports will be made to the library staff at all branches and in the Children’s Room at the Main Library. Only titles reported on and accepted by the librarian or designated staff will be entered in the reading log.
- Every teen who reads and reports on at least five (5) books will receive a Summer Reading Challenge certificate at the Awards Ceremony on August 15. They should report only on books read after June 22, 2009.
- There will be a scale of reading levels and incentives. Raffle tickets for an end-of-challenge prize drawing will also be given at the various incentive levels.
- A maximum of sixty (60) books per teen will be accepted.
- When a teen reads and reports on an award-winning book, it will count as two (2) titles in the reading log. If teens are reporting via the blog, the name of the award the book received must be included in the book review. Books that follow this year's theme, Express Yourself, will also count as two titles.
