The library is celebrating the tenth annual Teen Read Week(TM), October 14 – 20, 2007. We are joined by thousands of other libraries, schools and bookstores across the country who are encouraging teens to celebrate this year’s theme, "LOL @ your library®." Teen Read Week(TM) is the national adolescent literacy initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), the fastest growing division of the American Library Association. This year’s theme encourages teens to read humorous books and graphic novels just 'for the fun of it'.

Welcome to the first annual Achadamee High awards show recognizing the "finest" moments of the past year -- from best will-you-be-mine moment to best proposal for a new mascot.

This awards show illustrates one fact: Achadamee High should win top honors as the quirkiest, most dysfunctional, and downright hilarious school in the nation!
