From ALA/YALSA

“Teens will vote online from Aug. 24 through Sept. 18 at www.ala.org/teenstopten for their favorite books.

“The winners of the 2009 Teens’ Top Ten will be announced in a webcast featuring WWE Superstars and Divas during Teen Read Week, Oct. 18-24.

“Tell your book group, youth organizations you work with, and any other groups you know that work with teens to come to www.ala.org/teenstopten between Aug. 24 and Sept. 18 and vote.

“The more teens who participate, the more accurately the winning list will reflect the reading tastes of teens all over the country!”
