Chester County Library's Teen Summer Reading program has begun! This year's theme is "Unmask." Here's how it works: Come to the Youth Services Department to get your calendar. From June 8th to August 16th, mark your calendar each day you read or listen to books for 60 minutes. You'll get a prize when you reach 20 days of reading, 40 days of reading, and 60 days of reading. Each time your calendar is checked, your name will be entered in the Teen Summer Reading Raffle. The raffle will be held on September 4th, and winners will be notified by phone.<br />

Then you'll move on to the next book, "get to know it" for 4 minutes and rate it...and so on. It's a fun way to acquaint yourself with a lot of books in a short amount of time.<br />

A big THANK YOU to everyone who donated items for holiday stockings for veterans at Coatesville Veterans Medical Center! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: yellow;">Pictured above</span><span style="color: yellow;"> (in the back row)</span></strong> are Teen Library Crew members Ryan Casey and Beth Urbani, along with Youth Services Librarian Lisa Urbani, delivering the stockings to a women's PTSD unit on December 16th. They also delivered stockings to a men's PTSD unit.<br />
<br />
On December 10th, 18 teens came to Chester County Library to fill the stockings with candy, cookies, personal care items, CCL book bags, gift cards to Wawa and Walmart, and a holiday card. <span style="color: yellow;">We made 85 stockings!</span> THANK YOU to all the teens who volunteered their time to do this.

This November, you have many choices at the movie theater, including three that are based on popular books. Here's the rundown from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/">www.imdb.com</a>:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/thow+i+live+now/thow+i+live+now/1%2C1%2C3%2CB/frameset&FF=thow+i+live+now&1%2C%2C3" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="200" src="http://images.fandango.com/r90.9/ImageRenderer/160/240/images/no_image_160x240.jpg/166485/images/masterrepository/fandango/166485/hiln-poster.jpg" width="134" /></a><a href="http://www.fandango.com/how+i+live+now_166485/movieoverview" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><strong><em><span style="color: yellow;"><a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/thow+i+live+now/thow+i+live+now/1%2C1%2C3%2CB/frameset&FF=thow+i+live+now&1%2C%2C3">How I Live Now</a></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: yellow;">Release Date: 11/8/13</span></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #f4cccc;">SYNOPSIS:</span></em></strong> An American girl sent to the English countryside to stay with relatives finds herself fighting for her survival as the UK turns into a violent military state. <br />
<strong><span style="color: #f4cccc;">STARS:</span></strong> Saoirse Ronan, Tom Holland, George MacKay, Harley Bird<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #f4cccc;">The Buzz:</span></em></strong> Kevin Macdonald hitches himself to the world of YA lit with this adaptation of Meg Rosoff's popular novel, which has some inescapable similarities to the saga of one Katniss Everdeen. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/tthe+book+thief/tbook+thief/1%2C1%2C7%2CB/frameset&FF=tbook+thief&1%2C%2C7/indexsort=-" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="200" src="http://images.fandango.com/r90.9/ImageRenderer/160/240/images/no_image_160x240.jpg/164737/images/masterrepository/fandango/164737/thebookthief-ps-7.jpg" width="135" /></a><a href="http://www.fandango.com/the+book+thief_164737/movieoverview" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><strong><em><span style="color: yellow;"><a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/tthe+book+thief/tbook+thief/1%2C1%2C7%2CB/frameset&FF=tbook+thief&1%2C%2C7/indexsort=-">The Book Thief</a></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: yellow;">Release Date: 11/15/13</span></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #f4cccc;">SYNOPSIS:</span></em></strong> While subjected to the horrors of Word War II Germany, young Liesel finds solace by stealing books and sharing them with others. Under the stairs in her home, a Jewish refuge is being sheltered by her adoptive parents. <br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #f4cccc;">STARS:</span></em></strong> Sophie Nelisse, Geoffey Rush, Emily Watson, Ben Schnetzer<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #f4cccc;">The Buzz:</span></em></strong> Sophie Nélisse, who made her debut in art-house hit <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2011971/">Monsieur Lazhar</a>, will expand her fanbase as the star of this how-exactly-do-you-approach-it adaptation of the young adult novel that features Death as its narrator. "Downton Abbey" Emmy-winner Brian Percival takes his second turn in the movie director chair.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/tcatching+fire/tcatching+fire/1%2C7%2C18%2CB/frameset&FF=tcatching+fire&2%2C%2C6/indexsort=-" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="200" src="http://images.fandango.com/r90.9/ImageRenderer/160/240/images/no_image_160x240.jpg/155962/images/masterrepository/fandango/155962/finalcf2.jpg" width="135" /></a><a href="http://www.fandango.com/hunger+games3a+catching+fire_155962/movieoverview" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><strong><em><span style="color: yellow;"><a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/tcatching+fire/tcatching+fire/1%2C7%2C18%2CB/frameset&FF=tcatching+fire&2%2C%2C6/indexsort=-">The Hunger Games: Catching Fire</a></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: yellow;">Release Date: 11/22/13</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #f4cccc;">SYNOPSIS:</span></strong> Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark become targets of the Capitol after their victory in the 74th Hunger Games sparks a rebellion in the Districts of Panem. <br />
<strong><span style="color: #f4cccc;">STARS:</span></strong> Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Philip Seymour Hoffman<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #f4cccc;">The Buzz:</span></em></strong> <i>The Hunger Games</i> was the most satisfying franchise-starter in some time; a true measure of its success were the positive reactions from people who had yet to read the novels before seeing the movie. We love that the sequel was filmed in Hawaii, an ideal setting for the beautiful harshness of the Quarter Quell. Cast and crew wise, we're less concerned about any choices made by director Francis Lawrence and more worried about <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3510471/">Sam Claflin</a> as the knot-tying/Katniss-wooing Finnick Odair, because he displayed an innate talent for making time stand still in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1298650/">Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735898/">Snow White and the Huntsman</a>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Have you thought about all the people, circumstances, and outside influences that have shaped your life, for better or worse? In his book, <em><a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/tdiscovering+wes+moore/tdiscovering+wes+moore/1%2C1%2C2%2CB/frameset&FF=tdiscovering+wes+moore&1%2C%2C2/indexsort=-">Discovering Wes Moore</a></em>, author Wes Moore does just that. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The text on the book's inside cover grabbed my attention:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #f9cb9c;"> </span><span style="color: #f4cccc;">Even as a young boy, Wes Moore knew that his parents expected him to be a good kid. But after his father died suddenly, Wes's family moved to a new neighborhood and things changed. Wes started to skip school and hang out on the street, and he ran into trouble with the police. His mother intervened and sent him to a military academy, much to Wes's dismay. It wasn't an easy adjustment, but thanks to his mother's love and his own hard work and discipline, Wes got his life on track.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial;"> Years later, when Wes was a senior in college, he read a newspaper article about a man who shared his name. This Wes Moore, who had also grown up fatherless in a nearby Baltimore neighborhood, was serving a life sentence for murder. Compelled to write to the other Wes Moore, Wes was surprised weeks later to receive a reply. Letters led to visits, and so began a friendship between two men who seemed to have little in common besides their name.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial;"> "The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine," Wes says. "The tragedy is that my story could have been his." How did two boys, initially alike in so many ways, end up taking such divergent paths? In this gripping account, Wes Moore reflects on how struggles can define us and explores the choices that made all the difference between two lives.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Discovering Wes Moore</em> was adapted from his first book, <em><a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/tthe+other+wes+moore/tother+wes+moore/1%2C1%2C4%2CB/frameset&FF=tother+wes+moore+one+name+two+fates&1%2C%2C4/indexsort=-">The Other Wes Moore</a></em>, because the author wanted to tell his story for young adults who may be going through the same struggles that he did as a teen. As he says in the introduction, "I particularly wanted to help that young adult who is on the brink of an important decision. One step can determine what a person's tomorrow will look like; I wanted to help make sure that step was the right one." </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">This book reminded me that my actions, even small ones, have consequences that can't always be anticipated. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I highly recommend <em>Discovering Wes Moore</em> -- it's a fast read that will really make you think.</span></div>

There were 43 teens at this Summer kick-off event, and they made a 30-foot-long ice cream sundae (a Chester County record). There was enough ice cream, chocolate sauce, M&Ms, caramel, peanut butter sauce, and whipped cream for a feeding frenzy, and the fact that everyone helped to clean up afterward was an added bonus! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In Cat Winters’ <em><a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/Xin+the+shadow+of+blackbirds&searchscope=1&SORT=DZ/Xin+the+shadow+of+blackbirds&searchscope=1&SORT=DZ&extended=0&SUBKEY=in+the+shadow+of+blackbirds/1%2C2%2C2%2CB/frameset&FF=Xin+the+shadow+of+blackbirds&searchscope=1&SORT=DZ&1%2C1%2C">In the Shadow of Blackbirds</a></em>, World War I rages across Europe, and the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 has killed tens of thousands across America. For her own safety after her father is jailed for anti-war activities, Mary Shelley Black is forced to leave her home in Portland, Oregon, and take the train to San Diego, where her maternal Aunt Eva lives. Soon after her arrival, she learns the unthinkable: her childhood love, Stephen Embers, who ran off and enlisted, died on the front lines in France. An act of desperation leaves her with the ability to hear and see his ghost. He tells her something's wrong--and can't stop talking about looming, murderous blackbirds. So Mary is on a mission to discover what really happened to Stephen, and to find a way to rest his soul in peace.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From our own fears of what new pandemic might be lurking around the corner, to the nightly news of wartime atrocities and PTSD, this book reminds us that, sadly, everything old is new again. Mary is a likeable character, with her psychic interactions with Stephen all the more potent because she still retains her natural and healthy skepticism of the Spiritualist community, which history showed was filled with quite a few hucksters. Stephen's warnings not to trust everyone around her sets us up to keep our eyes open for duplicity, but even then we're horrified by the conclusion to Stephen's sad tale.

the thought of flowers, cards, and candy this Valentine’s Day making you gag?
Yeah, we’ve been there. So we present to you.....the Anti-Valentine’s Day
book list. Maybe you’ll like John Green’s <i><a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/tan+abundance+of+katherines/tabundance+of+katherines/1%2C1%2C3%2CB/frameset&FF=tabundance+of+katherines&1%2C%2C3">An Abundance of Katherines</a></i>,
where child prodigy Colin is dumped by his girlfriend right after<span style="color: black;"> </span>high school graduation—the 19th Katherine
to go with the other 18 he's dated (or otherwise been involved with)
in his life. To console himself, he allows himself to be dragged off on a
road trip to Tennessee, convinced along the way that he can work out a math
theorem that predicts the duration of relationships. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: left;">
Or maybe you can relate
to the unrequited love between John and Marisol, two high school zine writers
in Ellen Wittlinger’s <i><a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1?/thard+love/thard+love/1%2C1%2C2%2CE/frameset&FF=thard+love&1%2C%2C2">Hard Love</a></i>. Not even their shared family
dysfunctions and love of writing can overcome the obvious: John’s straight
while Marisol’s gay. E. Lockhart’s <i><a href="http://catalog.ccls.org/search~S1/?searchtype=t&searcharg=the+boyfriend+list&searchscope=1&sortdropdown=-&SORT=D&extended=1&searchlimits=&searchorigarg=thard+love">The Boyfriend List</a></i> is the first in
a series about 15-year old Ruby “Roo” Oliver, who starts suffering panic
attacks after her boyfriend dumps her, her friends abandon her, and she
becomes the pariah of her prep school. A bulleted list—prompted by her
shrink—helps us learn the events and reasons behind Ruby’s anxiety and fall
from grace. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: left;">
So grab one of these books, break up some heart-shaped
cookies to munch on while reading, and enjoy!<br />
