Select libraries in Albany and Rensselaer counties are inviting teens to “Read It Forward” this summer. Interested young people in grade 6 to 12 will receive a copy of a featured book chosen by librarians. After finishing the book, each teen will pass it on to a friend, who will continue the chain. In the spirit of sharing, there are no due dates, no late fees, no lost-book charges—only the pleasure of reading a good book and passing it on.
A collaborative project of the Upper Hudson Library System, Read It Forward will highlight quality teen literature and foster reading and communication among teens. Schools and parents are also encouraged to participate.
Stop by the Stephentown Memorial Library desk for a copy of the book. Tips for teens, teachers and parents on how to talk about the book will be available on the library website, www.stephentownlibrary.org.
Stephentown Memorial Library is planning several programs in support of Read It Forward; check the library website for details. “Read It Forward” will continue through the summer.
