Teens

Students in Grades 7-12!
Did you know there are two state-wide competitions in which you can vote for your favorite recently published books?

Isinglass Teen Read Award (Grades 7-8): information and current list can be found at: the Barrington Library’s Isinglass Award page

The Flume Teen Book Award for Grades 9-12, sponsored by the N.H. Center for the Book. More information can be found at the Young Adults Library Services website: http://nhlibrarians.org/yals/Flume.htm

Teen readers in grades 9-12 are encouraged to read the books on the list and participate in voting for their favorite title by April 30. You can also help select the next list of nominees by January 13.

The votes are in, and the 2012 WINNER is Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. The 2011 WINNER was Paper Towns by John Green.

Copies of High School and Middle School reading lists, and the books or audios you need are available each summer. Get your book early to have the best choice! If we run out, we can order from other libraries but this takes at least a week. You can check the availability and reserve your copy using our web catalog link.

Summer programs for adults, and Grades 7-12?

In the past we have had special activities in summer for teens and adults. Game days, Fly casting practice, Comic creation, a Trivia Bingo activity, and a “Frozen T-shirt Meltdown contest” are typical activities. Due to low numbers attending, we are not currently able to organize any summer activities for these ages. Do you have suggestions? Want to help? Please contact us.
