Teen Tech week was last week, but we're extending the festivities until April 3. You can participate by creating a trailer or a playlist for your favorite book. The winner of each contest will receive a $15 iTunes giftcard. Visit the Teen Tech Week website for more information.

Enjoy this video featuring new Young Adult books added to the library in January.





If you see anything interesting, visit our catalog to place a hold.

Wondering what a book is all about? One way to find out is to check out a book trailer. Book trailers are short, 1-3 minute, movies that give you a feel for what a book is about without giving away the ending. The trailer below is for Love, Stargirl, a popular Young Adult novel.




If you want to watch more books, these sites have more book trailers.

• Book Screening
• Trailer Spy

If you want to see if there is a trailer for a specific book try doing a google search for the title of the book and "book trailer". For example, you could google "Love Stargirl Book Trailer". You can also try searcing for the title of a book in YouTube.

Come celebrate Christmas with the Logan Library. We will be making recycled Christmas ornaments and decorations, munching on Christmas goodies, and listening to Christmas tunes.


The festivities commence on Thursday December 17 at 4:00 in the Library's Northeast Conference room. Hope to see you there.
