Best of the Best Resources
Bibliography
Citizens within the Commonwealth of Kentucky are emphasizing reading from early childhood through adult literacy. Teenagers, right in the middle of that age span, often need special encouragement to read! The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) of the American Library Association has created a web site resource to help parents, teachers, and librarians/library media specialists promote teenage reading. Teens can read, write and submit book reviews, participate in a discussion forum, or link to teen-related sites from homework to sports.
