The Straight Road To Kylie‏

The Straight Road To Kylie‏ by Nico Medina

Nico Medina creates an exciting senior year for a closeknit group of high school seniors dealing with school, friendships, and every sort of crush out there.

Medina does an excellent job of keeping the story flowing naturally as a first person narative, which is hard to do. I really recommend this book to anyone looking for an enjoyablely fun read.

Update: The Straight Road To Kylie has been ordered and can now be checked out.

Teen Read Down

Teen Read Down
Read down your library card fines!

Celebrate summer with the Teen Read Down! Anyone age 11 - 18 can read down fines and billed items on their library cards from June 10 though July 10, 2009.

How does it work?

For each 15 minutes of reading you do, you receive a coupon for $1.00 off your overdue fines or bills. Fines can be paid off bit by bit, or coupons can be saved up to pay for billed items in total.

Reading materials are limited to printed materials and the reader must sign in and read at the library.

For more information about the Teen Read Down and the Summer Reading Program for teens, contact your local branch library.

The Teen Read Down is being funded by a generous donation from a member of The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library.
