October is TeenTober! TeenTober, established by YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association), is a new, nationwide celebration hosted by libraries every October that 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. Baker & Taylor is inviting you to celebrate with them at their virtual author events. They will be hosting E. Lockart on Thursday, October 14, at 4:00 pm. On Thursday, October 28, at 4:00 pm, we invite you to view the Ruta Sepetys virtual author talk with us in the large meeting room of the library. Refreshments and snacks will be provided.
