How can librarians and teachers involve teens in TTT online voting during Teen Read Week?
• Make sure that your teens know how to find the TTT nominations list. Encourage them to start reading nominated titles early in preparation for the Teen Read Week vote. Add nominated titles to your YA collection. • Link your library’s or school’s Web site to the TTT nominations page. You can also reprint the nominations list directly on your site. A fine example of a teen library site that promotes TTT voting is from the City of Mesa Library in Arizona. • Make a bulletin board or display of nominated TTT titles before Teen Read Week, with colorful signs directing teen readers to the nominations site. Hand out bookmarks or flyers listing nominated titles—and booktalk them. • Make TTT promotion part of your library’s teen summer reading program or school reading list. Consider rewarding teens who prepare for TTT voting during your program. • During Teen Read Week, promote TTT voting within your library or classroom. Try these options or develop your own: • Dedicate one library computer
