Cover Story is the Appleton Public Library's Summer Library Program for young adults entering grades 7-12. To encourage teens to read over the summer, participants in the program are given review cards asking questions about each book read. The completed cards are submitted at the Library’s Information Desk. Teens then draw tickets for each submitted review to determine the level for a small incentive prize. Next, they enter their names for a chance at the large prizes, which will be presented at a final pizza party August 8th. A special drawing will be held weekly for the best reviews.

Cover Story allows each teen to set his or her own pace, and to read books they have chosen themselves. This is the third year for the Library’s Summer Reading Program for young adults. Last year more than 2400 book reviews were submitted! This year's prizes include DVD players, and gift certificates for The Exclusive Company, Funset Boulevard, The Fox River Mall and ihop. All prizes were selected by the Appleton Public Library’s Teen Advisory Board, and purchased with donations from the Appleton Library Foundation and Friends of the Appleton Library.

The program will kick off June 9th at a party featuring the improvisational comedy group ComedyCity. The party will be from 3:00 to 4:00pm.
