Wrestlemania Reading Challnege!
Join the Wrestlemania Reading Challenge!The Wrestlemania Reading Challenge kicks off with Teen Read week on October 19th and continues through January 19th, 2010. Students in grades 5 thru 12 can participate by picking up a reading log at their public library and reading 10 books by January 19th (recording each book on the log). Once participants have finished their reading log, they can turn it in to the library to receive a WWE poster (supplies are limited!).
In addition, all partcipants who complete their reading logs are eligible to enter a bookmart contest. Participants can create a bookmark that encourages reading for a chance to win a trip to see Wrestlemania!
There will be one local winner in each of the three categories of the bookmark contest (grades 5-6, 7-8, 9-12). The winning bookmarks at the local level will be sent on to the regional contest where the winners of the trips to Wrestlmania will be determined.

Teen Read Week - October 18-24
The Bossier Parish Library kicked off Teen Read Week with a bang! Thirty-two teens from around the parish attended a lock-in at the Bossier Central library on Friday, October 16th. Teens solved a mystery, competed in a Fear Factor Food Challenge, and played various video and board games. This was the library's third lock-in! Look for more lock-ins in the future!
This year's theme for Teen Read Week is "Read Beyond Reality". The library is sponsoring two events for the week. The first is an essay contest - read a book that fits the "beyond Reality" theme and write a short essay (even just a paragraph!) that explains why you think the reality in the book is better or worse than our reality. One winner will be chosen out of the entries to receive a $25 gift certificate to Books a Million! Essays are due by 6 PM on Friday, October 23rd.
The second event is "Read Away Your Fines!" Teens ages 13-18 can come into the library Monday, October 19th, through Friday, October 23rd, between 3-5 PM - check in with Tonya Oswalt at the reference desk, and then go to the back of the library to read. For every 15 minutes you spend reading, you'll earn 25 cents in credits that you can use to pay off overdue fines.
Also, keep a look out for information about the Wrestlemania Reading Challenge!
