www.teenspoint.org- "On this supercool library website, you can read music, movie, and book reviews!"

www.itvs.org/poeticlicense- "Read poems by other teens and post your own on the website."

www.poetry.com- "This website features plenty of poems, contests, and a page on publishing your own book!"

In Gary Paulesn's Hatchet, Brian Orbeson spends months on an island with only a hatchet after a terrifying plane crash. To hear his story, come to our Teen Read Aloud hours, starting June 16th at 3:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Imagine:

Your pilot has a heart attack mid-flight, forcing YOU to land the plane, and leaving you stranded on an island to fend for yourself for months... Alone.

What two things would you want with you?
