The Summer Reading Program Theme...as Voted by You!

Looking out the window into the snowy landscape or just stepping outside into the bitter cold--the summer seems a long way away; but here's something to remind you about the warm days ahead of us--the votes are tallied for the summer reading program! Thank you to all that voted and submitted alternate themes (we received some great ones!).

Based on your votes, the sci-fi related theme will be:
The Teen's Guide to the Galaxy

The theme is a take on the classic humorous sci-fi novel by Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
If you haven't had a chance to read this novel, we highly recommend it -- a must-read for sci-fi fans; it is the "most popular known reference book in the milky way," after all. For more information on the novel, check out these links:
Hitchhiker's Guide Review on Teen Ink
