Have you registered for the Summer Reading Program? If not, register today [2]! 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?
