📖 Read it Forward

No fines. No due dates. Just read, review, & pass it on.

Teens (grades 6-12), you have an extra chance to win a prize for reading this summer!
All you need to do is read one or both of our Read it Forward books, write a review using the QR code inside the book, and then pass it on to someone else to read for a chance to win a prize!

This summer, the libraries of the Capital Region will Read it Forward with TWO books: Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger and the graphic novel Hollow by Shannon Watters and Brandon Boyer-White.

To start reading, check out the GPL Teen Room for special Read it Forward copies of both books while supplies last. OR click on the book cover images here to borrow a copy from our library.

Ready to write your review? Scan the QR code in the RIF book or on the RIF bookmark, or click here to fill out the Google Form.
