What I'm Reading Now....

PEAK

by Roland Smith

When 14-year-old Peak Marcello is caught scaling a skyscraper to place his signature graffiti tag, he is offered a choice: spend three years in juvenile detention, or climb Mt. Everest with his long-absent father. And though the choice might be easy, the journey is not. Peak is physically and emotionally challenged by the grueling climb, the weather, and the politics and drama of climbing culture. Oh, and the pressure is on, because if Peak can reach the summit before his 15th birthday, he'll break a world record and gain glory and money. Roland Smith's Peak is gripping and surprising. I really enjoyed this book and it is a great read for anyone, young or old.

Summer Reading Program

Join us for our young adult reading program..."peak your interest!"

What is this you ask? Well, let me tell you.

We are challenging you to climb mountains of books this summer with chances to win great weekly give-aways and a tremendous grand prize! Visit the peak of the library (3rd floor) and have the sherpas (librarians) guide you thru your climbing (reading) log and on to the peaks! It works like this:
for every book you read, you get a weekly drawing entry form--these are for the, um, weekly drawings starting on june 14th.
once you read to the top of the peak, you will also get the a entry form for the grand prize AND still get weekly drawing entries! You have two ways to win... cool, huh?!? What is the grand prize you ask? Thunder Mountain - a prize just for TEENS - read just 8 books. This prize includes: gift cards to edwards theaters, the grand teton mall and heise hot springs.

Questions? Talk to me or any of the sherpas!!
See you soon in the library! Susannah
