Blind Date With A Book For Teens @ The Library!

Blind Date With a Book
SPECIAL February 2015 program: All February/All Open Hours

Teens (ages 13-17), are invited to stop by any Fort Smith Public Library location between February 1st and 28th to pick up your Blind Date with a Book. 

As your date will be dressed in paper wrapping, you won't know the genre, author or title of the book until you take it home and unwrap it. How did the date go? Was there a "Love Connection"? Would you two go out again? We want to hear all about it. 

Write a book review to tell us if you liked it and be entered into a prize drawing.

For more information, please call the Youth Services Department 
at (479)783-0229, ext. 1131.

New Teen Novels @ the Library!

*Come Browse Our New Teen Titles . . .

2014/2015 Releases!

Wildlife by Fiona Wood 
is just one of the new additions to our great Young Adult Collection. 

The Fort Smith Public Library offers programs and services for teens in 
middle school, junior high, and high school.

The Young Adult collection includes Fiction, Non-Fiction (including Anime and Manga), Reference Materials as well as a New Teen Releases Book Display.

There is a comfortable place for teens to hang out and study or read. Other teen and tween-geared programming is scheduled on a regular basis.


During a semester in the wilderness, sixteen-year-old Sib expects the tough outdoor education program and the horrors of dorm life, but friendship drama and an unexpected romance with popular Ben Capaldi? That will take some navigating.

New girl Lou has zero interest in fitting in, or joining in. Still reeling from a loss that occurred almost a year ago, she just wants to be left alone. But as she witnesses a betrayal unfolding around Sib and her best friend Holly, Lou can't help but be drawn back into the land of the living. 


Fiona Wood lives in Melbourne, Australia. Wildlife is her first novel to be published in the United States. She has worked as a screenwriter for more than ten years, and her first novel,Six Impossible Things, was short-listed for the Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the Year.
