Have you registered for the Summer Reading Program?  If not, register today!  With the Summer Reading Program well underway, more and more readers are coming to the library or searching the digital media catalog on the hunt for their next great read.  Some teens start reading “adult” books and pretty much stick to them (I was one of those) and others have a foot firmly planted in both the teen and adult collections.  This week I thought I’d recommend some titles published for adult audiences, but which may appeal to some teen readers.   What do you suggest?
 

Although summer doesn’t technically begin until we’re firmly in the month of June, it certainly already feels like summer here in Texas.  With high temperatures and the end of school well within sight, this is the time of year when summer plans are being finalized, trips to the beach are being planned, and sleeping in late is being highly anticipated.  Below I’ve listed some books that at some point take place in the summer months or are just great summer reads.  What do you recommend?

May is Asian-Pacific Heritage Month, an annual celebration of individuals of Asian and Pacific Islander descent and their significant contributions to American history and culture.  Below you’ll find a list of a few titles that have been published for teen readers and are all by Pacific Islander or Asian American authors.  How do you plan on celebrating?
