If you’re been procrastinating completing your, or if you’re just hearing about the National Teen Writing Contest, make sure you submit by 11:59 pm ET Friday December 22! Let the folks at NYPL know why the freedom to read is important to you. Here’s more about the contest prompt:
At a time of rising book bans, we invite all teens, wherever in the United States you live, to make your voices heard by answering this essential question in essays and personal stories of 500 to 1,500 words. You may want to consider the following: How have book bans affected you and how have you stood against them? How have books and reading shaped your identity? Why is it important in your community that we share the right to read freely? You don’t need to answer these questions—please feel free to interpret the prompt however you like.
