About National Support Teen Literature Day
In the United States, Librarians all across the country are encouraged to participate in Celebrate Teen Literature Day on the Thursday of National Library Week by hosting events in their library or through their web site on that day.
The purpose of this celebration is to raise awareness among the general public that young adult literature is a vibrant, growing genre with much to offer today’s teens. Support Teen Literature Day also seeks to showcase some award-winning authors and books in the genre as well as highlight librarians’ expertise in connecting teens with books and other reading materials.
