Voting open for SD Teen Choice Book Awards

Siouxland Libraries’ Teen Reading Program, which runs from Oct. 7 to April 1, 2019, is part of South Dakota Library Association’s Young Adult Reading Program (YARP). The Young Adult Reading Program invites readers grades 6-12 to read and rate titles from this list: https://library.sd.gov/LIB/YAS/yarp/index.aspx

Readers can read and rate as many titles from each 12-book list as they wish. Each entry earns you a raffle ticket to be entered into various prize basket drawings. 

Teens can sign up for the program at any Siouxland Libraries branch or online at siouxlandlib.readsquared.com.
