Tic Tac Title is the Appleton Public Library's Summer Reading Program for young adults entering grades 7-12. The program will kick off June 11th at a party at 3:00pm that will feature the improvisational comedy of the group ComedyCity.

This year's summer library program has a tic-tac-toe format. Participants are given game cards with squares representing different types of books. Among the categories are young adult fiction, romance, western, mystery, science fiction/fantasy, biography, poetry, short stories, humor and nonfiction. Participants choose which row (across, down, diagonal) has the type of books they want to read and review. The completed review cards are submitted at the Information Desk. After completing a row, participants are given a small incentive prize and one entry into the large prize drawing of their choice. Participants continue with more game cards for the duration of the program, reading as many books as they wish.

This is the second summer for the teen summer library program. Last summer over 200 teens participated. The flexibility of the program allows teens to set their own pace. All incentives were purchased with grants from the Appleton Library Foundation and Friends of the Appleton Library. This year's prizes include a DVD player, two-way radios, a day spa package, laser tag passes, a lava lamp and Conkey's and Exclusive Company gift certificates. Teens find out who wins the big prizes at a final pizza party on August 10th.
