Everyone's putting out a Best of 2012 list, so I figured we might as well get a piece of the action.

Northbrook Public Library's Best of 2012 - Teen Books!

We're you going to sign up for Saturday's Cupcake Throwdown? Better sign up soon. 

Join us to discuss a book that could possibly win the American Library Association's Newbery Award for distinguished literature. In Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage, eleven-year-old Mo LoBeau who washed ashore as an infant in a tiny town in North Carolina searches for answers when her adopted parent is implicated in a murder.

Hey Teens - have any library fines?

Running from December 1 through the 10th, you can donate non-perishable foods in cans, boxes and plastic jars (no glass) at the library in place of your fines! 

Alright, I know the movie doesn't come out for a year but have you seen the new logo? It's intense! 

Also, there's some kind of contest. I don't exactly understand it. I think if you're one of the first 12 million people to share #thespark (I guess that means you share the page or perhaps you use the hastag in a Tweet, maybe even like the page) you could win.  

Are you into ebooks?

The seventh book in the Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney will be released on Tuesday November 13th.  The Third Wheel is filled with Greg Hefley's humorous diary entries and drawings. You will learn a little about life before Greg was born and later about how a Valentine Dance creates unusual problems for him.
