Irving announces that support is needed to help bring a Young Adult book tour here. The city with the most votes in the YA2U contest will win the opportunity to host a panel discussion and book-signing event featuring five best-selling, award-winning authors. Booklovers, community members and library patrons have until Feb. 15 to cast a vote for Irving in the online contest.

Authors featured on the book tour include Beth Revis (Across the Universe), Marissa Meyers (Cinder), Marie Lu (Legend), Victoria Schwab (The Near Witch) and debut author Megan Shepherd (The Madman’s Daughter). If Irving wins the contest, these authors also may visit local schools.

“Two of the writers participated in an author panel during the Summer Reading Club in 2012 and received rave reviews,” Irving Public Library Teen Programming Coordinator Kristin Trevino said in a news release. “There is certainly a huge demand for more teen author appearances in Irving and we are excited to have this opportunity.”

To vote, visit ya2u.blogspot.com and select “Contest Entry” from the menu at left. For more information, call 972-721-2606, or visit cityofirving.org/library and select “TeenScene.”
