Teen Read Week

TURN DREAMS INTO REALITY @ YOUR LIBRARY!

This Teen Read Week (Oct. 12-18), we dare teens to read for the fun of it! TRW is a time to celebrate reading for fun and to take advantage of reading in all its forms - books and magazines, e-books, audiobooks and more — and become regular library users. Check out these fun events we’re having to celebrate!

Louise is not very popular at her high school. Then she learns that she's descended from the witches of Salem and has inherited their powers. At first she uses them to get back at the girls and teachers who teased her and to win the heart of the handsome football captain.
