Teen Summer Reading Program 2013 is ready!
This year, the Teen Summer Reading Program encourages you to look Beneath the Surface by reading! Books help dig up hidden truths and mysteries about life so who knows what you will unearth when you read!
This program has been created and paid for by the members
of the Northfield Public Library’s Teen Advisory Board
Who Can Participate? People going into grades 6 to 12
How Does it Work?
300-399 pages = 2 Points
400-499 pages = 3 points
500 pages and up= 4 points
Audio books– look up the number of pages in the printed version and record them.
YOU MAY not add book pages together– each book is counted separately (except Graphic Novels)!
3 points = your choice of treats from the box kept at the children’s reference desk
Any questions? Ask a TAB member or Kathy

The Minnesota History Center folks came down to test out a program on the TAB members.
Although we were sworn to secrecy by the US State Department it was a scenario dealing with KGB Agents operating in Brainerd, MN in the mid 1960's. It involved codes, secret agents, atomic secrets, a morse code signal and a watertower! Interesting.....
 |
| We advised it needed a little more fine tuning and some of the codes were hard. We liked the scenario- who knew there were KGB agents in Brainerd of all places! Deciphering the Morse code was difficult but we gave it a good try. We triangled the signal! THANKS MHS for giving us the chance to check it out! |
