High School Contests & Programs
Students had the opportunity to design a bookmark for our school.
A staff panel will select finalists who will be announced on October 5th.
Students will vote on the finalists from Wednesday, October 7th through Thursday, October 15th.
The winner will be announced on Friday, October 16th.
The winning designer will have their bookmark replicated and distributed in the library for the remainder of the school year. Best of luck to all the contestants! We look forward to seeing your designs
TeenTober™ is a new, nationwide celebration hosted by libraries every October and aims to celebrate teens, promote year-round teen services and the innovative ways teen services helps teens learn new skills, and fuel their passions in and outside the library. TeenTober™ replaces YALSA’s previous Teen Read Week™ and Teen Tech Week™ celebrations, allowing libraries the flexibility to celebrate all types of literacies according to their library’s schedule. Library staff are encouraged to utilize this new celebration to advocate for and raise awareness of the importance of year-round teen services in libraries. (https://www.ala.org/yalsa/teentober)
Teentober is celebrated annually in the Round Lake High School Library
