100 Books Before Graduation

Friday, May 31, 2024
Salem-South Lyon District Library
Attention High School Students! The Library has a program to encourage teens to continue reading through high school called 100 Books Before Graduation! Here’s how it works: students will record the books they have read in increments of ten. Once a student has read ten books their name will be featured on the “Wall of Fame” in the Teen Area. For every ten books a student reads they will “move up” a level on the Wall of Fame. Once a student has read 100 books, the library will purchase a book in the student’s name for the collection. Call or stop into the library for more information!
