Hey Teens! I wanted to give you all a little update on how Summer Reading has been going. You are all doing a great job! I'm so impressed with all the stories and pictures being posted, they are just fantastic! If you haven't yet, you should take some time to go read all the great stories being posted in the teen forum! The pictures are great too! Keep up the good work everyone!

Also, more teens than ever before are completing Bingos and winning prizes! If you haven't brought in your Bingo Card for a prize yet hurry, hurry! The bowling certificates are almost gone!

You all are doing a great job reading this summer! So keep up the good work! Participation like this is what allows us to do bigger and better things for you every year! So thanks for participating!
Don't forget we have a lot of great events planned for the coming weeks, Laura and I hope to see you there!

P.S. The first two YAK's in August are going to be Teen Advisory Group meetings, so if you would like to influence the sort of events we plan for you, join us and make your voice heard! If we aren't doing what you want, YOU can change that! Hope to see you soon!
