Express Yourself @ Your Library

Teem Summer

Teen Summer Reading Program 2009

The theme of this year's summer reading program is Express Yourself! Keeping with that theme, we're providing several ways for you to read, express your creativity, and win.

All contests and drawings are open for entries from Monday, June 8 through Saturday, August 22. You must be a teen between the ages of 13 and 17 to participate in any of the Teen Summer Reading Program contests and events.

Book Drawing

Each time you finish a book this summer, drop an entry form in the box at the library. Each month we will draw 20 winners from the entries received that month. If you win, you will get to select a Teen book from the Director's Book Cart.

Say it in Six. Win Big!

Have you got something to say? Can you say it in only six words? For this contest, simply submit a story, any story, that is exactly six words long. If you submit the best story, you will receive an MP3 player.

Someone once challenged famous Novelist Ernest Hemingway to write a story using only six words. This is what he came up with:

For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.

Even though it is short, it paints a vivid picture. For this contest see what kind of story you can convey using only six words. If you need some help getting started take a look at SMITHteens or Six Word Stories for inspiration. You can enter as many times as you would like, and your entry may be posted on our Teen website or other places in the library. The Teen who submits the best story, as judged by Logan Library staff, will receive an MP3 player as a prize.

We want to see the Logan the way you see it. Maybe you like the view from Old Main at sunset, or perhaps hanging out at the Demolition Derby is more your thing. Do you spend your Saturdays shopping on Main Street, or do you like hanging out in the park with your friends? Either way, we want your photos. 150 years from now your great-great-great grandchildren might be looking at these photos and pondering life in 2009.

  • Digital photographs should be 600 x 800 pixels and in jpg format.
