Library director shares favorites, encourages summer reading at Liberty Park Middle School

Terri Leslie, teen director at the Vestavia Hills Library in the Forest, visited Liberty Park Middle School to talk to the seventh and eighth grade students about summer reading.

While at the school, she gave book talks about some of her favorite teen books. She also gave each student a bookmark that lists the books she discussed. The students were encouraged to participate in the Library in the Forest summer activities.

This year’s summer reading program theme is “Own the Night.” Activities will include a pillowcase art session, a time to play Wii video games, a Quirky Quotes Art session and a “Night of the Living Dead” Creature Ball and Costume Contest.
