Teen Book Reviews
Is your teen looking for volunteer opportunities? Do they have opinions on a book? Teens age 12-18 can email a brief (at least 100 words) summary and review of a book they've read this year, with their name and grade to: TeenUnderground@anchorageak.gov
Participating teens earn 1 volunteer hour with every review submitted. Reviews have a chance to be featured on the Teen Underground Instagram, the Anchorage Public Library website, or on a display in the Teen Underground.
