NEW READS FOR SUMMER

Quincredible: The Quest to be the Best by R. Barnes

Let the Challenge Begin!

Hello Curtis Teens!

As with all things in your life, the teen summer reading program is a bit different this year. I challenge you to have fun and take the time to read for pleasure.

Stop by the Middle Street entrance, look around, and, unless raining, there is a table with the TEEN and KIDS summer program packets in boxes. If you are a person entering 6th – 12th grade, you are welcome to take a packet. Inside you will find a gameboard, reading lists, a coloring page, a bookmark, and – while supplies last – colored pencils to get your started on your first challenge. If it is raining or other weather destructive to paper, give us a call at curbside 725-5242 and Lending Services will bring out as many packets as your request for you (one per teen please).

Want more fun? Browse the library’s program calendar for digital escape rooms, take & makes, paint nights, and more.

The Rest of the Story by Sarah Dessen is an incredible story about finding yourself. The main character Emma Saylor visits family that she doesn’t know and they change her perspective on life. She learns about the history of her family and friends and finds love with an old friend from when she visited the last time. The book is thoroughly enjoyable with funny and sad moments.

Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines is a remarkable story about a girl (Maggie) who witnessed death at a very young age so she chooses not to Cover art for Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines speak. West, a star football player is witnessing death slowly every day. He starts talking to her and telling her everything that’s going on and she’s the only one who can understand. The story is breathtaking and beautiful. It shows you that even the most terrible things can bring people together and that family will ALWAYS be behind you and beside you.
