Graphic Novels
The people have spoken! You asked us to make it easier to find graphic novels in the YA section. We've added red stickers to the spines of the graphic novels in our collection. Now you can see at a glance where the graphic novels are!

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!

Teen Summer Reading Program
"Scare up a Good Book" at the Mahomet Public Library Teen Summer Reading Program (for teens entering grades 6-12)
July 25-Aug. 28, 2010
Read the library books, magazines, and newspapers you enjoy (or listen to a book on CD/cassette), and for every 3 hours of reading, enter a grand prize drawing for one of five $10 bookstore gift cards.
Every time you read 15 minutes, mark a box off on your entry form. When you’ve read 3 hours, bring your entry form with your name and phone number to the Mahomet Public Library to be entered into our grand prize drawing. Then pick up another form, and read your way towards another entry! All entries must be turned in to the library by August 28.
Entry forms available in the library, or print one from the library web page (www.mahometpubliclibrary.org). For more information, contact the Mahomet Public Library at 586-2611.
New Teen Area!
