Teen Read Week:
October 20–24, 2025
Teen Read Week is a national initiative supported by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) to encourage teens to “read for the fun of it.” In Santa Clara Unified School District, our school libraries join in by offering themed book displays, fun reading-related activities, and engaging talks — all designed to spark joy and connection through reading.
At SCUSD, Teen Read Week is an opportunity to bring students together in a relaxed, judgment-free zone — where they can discover books that reflect their interests, explore new genres, and share their excitement with friends. By highlighting reading as a social and joyful experience, we help foster a lifelong love of literacy across grades and campuses.
To make the week even more exciting, students can participate in fun contests with the chance to win prizes. Activities might include book trivia challenges, “guess the staff member’s favorite book” games, bookmark design contests, or short book review raffles. Prizes range from gift cards to brand new bikes donated by Santa Clara Schools Foundation (SCSF).
