Raiders Join CR Librarians at the Texas Teens for Libraries Conference

Our fabulous librarians took several Raiders to the conference for Texas Teens for Libraries, recently. Ms. Uselman and Ms. Hall shared the information and pictures below:

TT4L 2015! Texas Teens for Libraries is the annual statewide gathering of teens who love reading and libraries! 10 of our very own Cedar Ridge Students joined 700 other teens from around the state along with the 8,000 librarians in attendance at the annual Texas Library Conference held in Austin this year.

TT4L was a day packed with fun events and activities for teens to take part in, including meeting authors, attending author panels, exploring the TLA Exhibition Hall, getting books signed, hanging out with other teens, and reading new books! 

Our attendees had the opportunity to chat informally with authors of young adult novels in a small group setting. They shared their love of reading and sought tips for being successful writers. At the Author Panel, popular YA authors such as Scott Westerfeld, CC Hunter and PJ hoover answered questions that you "wouldn't usually ask an author."

Our teens left with more books than they could carry and more importantly, memories that will last a lifetime!
