TEEN Read Week - This year's theme is Read Beyond Reality @ your LCHS High School Library, which encourages teens to read something out of this world, just for the fun of it.  Why is it important to celebrate? For a lot of reasons! Teens have so many options for entertainment, so it's important to remind them to spend time reading for pleasure: it's free, fun, and can be done anywhere! 

Research shows that teens who read for fun have better test scores and are more likely to succeed in the workforce.
