It’s not too late to encourage your teens to film their own Summer Reading 2017 video! You can find the entry form and other details online at www.michigan.gov/summerreading.

Videos will be judged by LM’s Youth Services Advisory Council and the State’s winning public library will receive a prize worth $50 from Upstart!

See the link below for examples of last year’s winning entries.

…to get your library teens to participate in the 2017 Teen Video Challenge! Follow this link: http://www.cslpreads.org/2016-teen-video-challenge/ for the 2016 CSLP State Winners & be inspired! (Texas features a mash-up of Hunger Games/Harry Potter, South Carolina goes Zombie, etc.)

You’ll note Michigan doesn’t have one, as this is the first year in a long time that we’re participating. Deadline is January 31^st, details and the official submission forms can be found by clicking here and scrolling down to the “2017 Michigan Teen Video Contest” section. You can see some videos are more simplistic than others, but they’re all enthusiastic pieces about libraries by teens!

Looking forward to viewing your entries,
