New from the Young Adult Library Services Association!




We're getting ready for Teen Read Week which starts Sunday October 13th and to help get everyone ready YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) has introduced a new app for all of you iPhone, iPad, and iPod users!! The YALSA Bookfinder app is available FREE from the App Store and can help you find exactly what you are looking for!

You can learn more at iTunes! Here is their brief description.
Description
Find the best books and media for teens, as selected by library staff and educators across the United States! The Teen Book Finder, generously funded by a grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, offers easy access to the titles honored each year by the Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the American Library Association. Search for books by title, author, genre, award, or list; create a reading list with the favorites button; share what you’re reading on Facebook and Twitter; and find a copy of the book in your local library, all from one screen! Not sure where to start? YALSA offers three hot picks on the homepage each day.


There is also lots more information on this App and for Teen Read Week in general at YALSA!
Just click the links!!

Stay tuned for another post later today (10/3/13) for information on our own Teen Read Week contest where you can win an Amazon Gift Card or a set of the Hunger Games books!
