Welcome Young Adults!
Welcome to the Young Adult blog for North Logan City Library! We are so glad you are part of our library, and want you all to feel welcome here! On this blog we have a place where you can review the book of the month (or make suggestions about the next book), find out about upcoming activities, and see some of the young adult books the library will be getting. My name is Jaylene, and I am currently the Young Adult Supervisor, which basically means i'm a go-between for anyone between the ages of 13 and 18, the Youth Committee, and those in charge of the library. I let the person in charge know about the activities you would like us to have, and those items that you would like the library to order. If you're interested in being on the Young Adult committee, or have any questions or suggestions, let me know by either calling me at the library (755-7169 ext. 3), or by e-mailing me at northloganlibrary2@gmail.com. I hope you enjoy this blog, and I hope you can all participate with it!
Young Adult Activity
There is a Young Adult Halloween Activity taking place at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow night, Oct. 20th. Anyone between the ages of 13 and 18 is welcome to attend! Refreshments will be provided! If you have any questions, please call (435)755-7169, comment on this blog, or e-mail me (Jaylene) at northloganlibrary2@gmail.com.

Book Review
Each month a different YA book will be posted on here for all of you to review. The book I have chosen for this month is The Hunger Games. Just click on the comments link, and you should be able to post. If you have any ideas for young adult books that you would like to review, or if there are any questions, or problems please feel free to leave a message on the blog, e-mail me at northloganlibrary2@gmail.com, or call me at the library.

Katniss Everdeen is a sixteen-year-old girl who has learned how to survive no matter what. She lives with her mother and her sister in Panem, which is a part of District 12. Every year two competitors from each district, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18, are forced represent their district in a brutal tournament hosted by the Capitol.Only one person is allowed to survive The Games, and is greatly rewarded for doing so. When her younger sister's name is drawn to be a participant, Katniss steps in to take her place. In order to survive The Games she may need to decide between survival or humanity, life or love.
