This year we had our first ever Teen Summer Challenge, Make Your Imprint, where teens across the city read, learned, created, discovered and achieved. For completing the challenge, teens were entered into a raffle to win an eReader.
Congratulations go out to our Central District winner Deshawn G. of Westinghouse College Prep!
Deshawn was awarded an eReader at his home branch, Richard M. Daley, by dedicated staff branch manager, Jacob and librarian for teens, Erica.
In Deshawn's words:
I have no words to say. My friend in college gave me a gift earlier today and now this... Right now, I'm in a dream... It's like nothing this extraordinary has ever happened to me. It doesn't seem real. It's awesome; it's a dream. This is perfect. Thank you so much.
The outstanding hard work and passion of Erica and her colleagues at Richard M. Daley, for encouraging teens to participate in and complete the Teen Summer Challenge, are part of what made this first year such a success!
Congratulations Deshawn! We wish you continued success!
