Teen Schedule

Teens in grades 7-12 can submit reviews of books, audiobooks, music and movies to the Library's Teen Web page using a new online form. The reviews feature a star rating, a place for other people's comments about the title, and a link to the Library's catalog for those wishing to place a hold on the reviewed item. Students may submit as many reviews as they like. Reviews are posted in title order.

Win prizes for reading in Lake Oswego Library's Teen Summer Reading program! Register, fill out reading logs and earn raffle tickets all online at www.lakeoswegolibrary.org/teen beginning June 1.
