TeenTober
TeenTober is a new, nationwide celebration hosted by libraries every October to celebrate YOU! Let's learn new skills, and fuel your passions in and outside the library.

Backstory:
Teen Read Week began in 1998. The continuing message of the Teen Read Week initiative is to encourage 12-18 year olds to "Read For The Fun Of It". Each year an annual theme allows YALSA to focus on timely topics and teen interests. Teen Read Week is celebrated the same week as Columbus Day every year.
