Is it a story you can get involved in? Are the people in the story believable? Are you interested in finding out about them? Can you picture the characters in your mind?</p> <p> <strong>Is it a Good Read?</strong><br /> Once you’ve read the beginning, does it make you want to read more? How do the characters talk to each other? Does it seem real?</p> <p> <strong>What it Looks Like?</strong><br /> Is the art on the cover good? Are the pictures interesting? Do the pictures make the story better? Are any special effects or fonts used?</p> <p> <strong>Your Opinion</strong><br /> How many points out of 10 would you give the book? What age or grade of readers do you think would enjoy it? Would both boys and girls enjoy it? Is it a book that adults might enjoy?</p> https://www.denverlibrary.org/blog/write-win#comments Books Blog book reviews prizes reviews Teens Fri, 22 Jun 2012 19:59:36 +0000 DawnM 6818 at https://www.denverlibrary.org Volunteering @ Your Library https://www.denverlibrary.org/blog/volunteering-your-library <div class="field field-type-text field-field-teaser"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>There are a lot of special things happening during the summer at Denver Public Libraries and teen volunteers can help make them a success! Are you 12-18 years old? Are you looking for a fun way to give back to your community? Try volunteering at your local branch library!</p> </div> </div> </div> <p>As a library volunteer, some of the activities you may be able to help with include: the Summer of Reading program, crafts or gaming activities, or helping to shelve library materials. However, not all branches accept volunteers – <a href="http://teens.denverlibrary.org/involved/volunteer.html">check this web page</a> to see if the branches near you have a teen volunteer program. Several branches also have teen advisory boards where you can give the librarians input on library services for those in grades 6-12. Contact the <a href="http://denverlibrary.org/content/athmar-park-branch-library">Athmar Park</a> Branch Library, <a href="http://denverlibrary.org/content/park-hill-branch-library">Park Hill</a> Branch Library or <a href="http://denverlibrary.org/content/green-valley-ranch-branch-library">Green Valley Ranch</a> Branch Library for information about volunteering on their teen advisory boards.</p> https://www.denverlibrary.org/blog/volunteering-your-library#comments Library News TAB Teen Advisory Board Teens volunteers Wed, 16 May 2012 18:36:16 +0000 DawnM 5597 at https://www.denverlibrary.org
