Starting next year, TTW will be going through some changes. The YALSA Board has decided to re-envision TTW and TRW (Teen Read Week) into a bigger advocacy/awareness campaign.

In March 2017, a discussion between YALSA's board members resulted in board document #32 at Annual 2017 to re-envision TTW and TRW to create a larger advocacy/awareness campaign to promote the importance of year-round teen services. A follow-up conversation also took place and resulted in the most recent board document, which put forth the task to create a taskforce to come up with possible recommendations for the advocacy/awareness campaign. 

As a result, there will be no theme for TTW next year. Library staff are encouraged and welcome to continue to celebrate TTW in March or during a time that is convenient for their teens & library, under the general theme of “Get Connected.”

The TTW ning site will be deactivated on Friday, Nov. 16, 2018 and all resources on this site will be moved to the YALSA site.

To learn more, please read the re-envisioning TTW and TRW board document, along with board document #32 from last year. If you would like to be kept in the loop about the re-envisioning process, please sign up here.
