County Wide Read for Teens
Libraries across Pennsylvania are busy creating summer programs
and activities for teens using the SPARK A REACTION summer reading theme as a
springboard to help motivate kids to read while enjoying their time off from
school. Here in Montgomery County, 18 of our public libraries are hoping
to ignite that reading spark by featuring teen author David Lubar and hosting
him at author signings and book discussions that focus on his books; Hidden
Talents, Sleeping Freshman Never Lie and DUNK.
Before teens head out to meet Mr. Lubar, they might want to know
some interesting facts about him.
