What will I do as a member? As members, we will read from the Florida Teens Read selection of 15 books chosen by teens and librarians from across the state. See a description of each book below. Together, we will vote to choose Florida's favorite teen book of the year.
The steps: 1. Sign up by coming to the media center or emailing Mrs. Roff.
2. Check out an FTR book from the library, or find the eBook in our Destiny Discover catalog (Homepage) Not all FTR books are available in eBook format.
3. Read a minimum of three out of the 15 Florida Teens Read books. If you are unhappy with your choice, return and choose another. Every book is not for everybody.
4. Write a review for each book you complete in our FTR Reviews journal on display in the media center.
