Become a Teen Reviewer

Every January, the American Library Association publishes a list of books that librarians believe to be the best books for teens (between the ages of 12 and 18) that were published during the past year.  Teen volunteers can earn community service credit by reviewing these books for their peers. The 2015 program begins on February 1. In January, we will be preparing for the announcement of the next list of books recommended by the American Library Association.  If you want more information about this program, contact Nanette Feder at teens@emmaclark.org
