Teen Read Week

With the explosion of YA literature since the publication of Harry Potter, and with contemporary and innovative authors such as John Green, it is amazing to see today's young adults so passionate about literature. With this week's Teen Read Week, the Youth Service department here at Oak Brook wants to celebrate our teen users of the library. Here are some of the upcoming events:
