Vote for the Teens' Top Ten

A few months ago we posted the list of nominees for this year's Teens' Top Ten. Now voting has begun! If you are 12-18 years old, you can vote for your favorites at this site: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/teenstopten2010%20Voting Vote any time from now until September 17.

Teens' Top Ten is a "teen choice" list, where teens nominate and choose their favorite books of the previous year. The winners will be announced in a webcast featuring WWE Superstars and Divas during Teen Read Week.

Help shape the teen department

Now that we are settled into the new building, we have a problem that we've never had before: what to do with all that shelf space in the young adult collection!

Of course we'll still order the newest books as they come out, but we would also like to know what you think we're missing. Are there are any authors whose books you think we should have? Any series that you're dying to read but can't find here?

Several teens have already told us that they think there should be a separate Graphic Novel collection (rather than having graphic novels mixed in with the other books). Do you agree? What graphic novel series are we missing?

You can leave a comment here with suggestions, fill in a purchase suggestion form at our website, or just tell a library employee the next time you visit. We really want to hear from you!
