October is Teen Read Month in Oklahoma

Why is it important to celebrate? For a lot of reasons! Teens you have so many options for entertainment, so let me remind you to spend time reading for pleasure: it’s free, fun, and can be done anywhere! Research shows that teens who read for fun have better test scores and are more likely to succeed in the workforce. Also, it’s a great chance for you to know the possibilities that exist within the covers of books. Reading is not just a means of escaping the real world but a chance to learn more about it and how to deal with the many issues of the world. Books with Beat is this year’s theme and Wister Library will hold Teen Programs every Saturday in October at 2:00 pm.
