Stop in for some Teen Tech Week fun this week! :)
“Eleanor & Park reminded me not just what it’s like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it’s like to be young and in love with a book.”
So John Green reviewed Eleanor & Park inThe New York Times this weekend, and I don’t have enough exclamation points to express how I’m feeling.

I accidentally read 223 pages of this last night.
Right? It’s SO GOOD.

To celebrate Teen Tech Week, each location of the Naperville Public Library brought back our popular Post-It Note Art! Each building’s TAGTeam (Teen Advisory Group) created something different!
At the 95th Street Library location, our teens recreated a giant iPhone! The TAGTeam and the Teen Librarian used over 1,000 sticky notes to recreate their favorite way to stay connected. They even created the app buttons before placing them over the Post-It iPhone.
