All About Café Book
Teens at area schools meet and talk about the latest and hottest books published for teenagers. After reading their choices from selected titles, the teens share their thoughts with each other. The ultimate goal is to produce a booklist of each school's "Top Teen Picks" for that year. Read more about the program here.
