Looking for something new to read? Join the Teen Online Book Club, and receive chapters from popular books in your email. Each day, Monday through Friday, you'll get a portion of a chapter that will take about five minutes to read. If you like the selections, you can check the book out from the library to finish reading, or just move on to the new title that starts each Monday. In addition to teen books, you can also choose to receive fiction, mystery, romance, and science fiction selections. There is no charge for this service. Just sign up for the Teen Book Club with your email address, and for five minutes each day, we'll give you a great read! Click on the link above, or ask any librarian for assistance.
