It’s Teen Read Week at the library! The theme this year is PictureIt @ your library and in celebration we are paying homage to the classic silver screen zombies. To help us celebrate, we will have an author visit, made possible through a grant from YALSA and the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, the Satellite Beach Library and the Franklin T DeGroodt Memorial Library will host the author of the YA bestseller TheForest of Hands and Teeth, Carrie Ryan. That’s right, prepare yourself cause it is time for the Zombie Author Apocalypse. We invite you to join us all week as we discuss zombies, zombies, and more zombies.
From theme parks to commercials to television, zombies seem to be everywhere lately. Why zombies? Many have said that they are a metaphor for today’s society and well, zombies are fun. This idea of survival has been used by companies to promote awareness of their product in new and interesting ways. Even the CDC has used the concept of surviving a zombie apocalypse to conceptualize on how if you are prepared for a zombie outbreak then you can survive anything (we Floridians know that this is really hurricane survival in the guise of zombie survival, so guess you could say we are ready).
To kick off our Zombie Author Apocalypse, we ask: What would you do to survive the pending zombie uprising? Comment below and you might just win a prize from our own Famous Faces and Funnies Comics and Toys. All comments must be posted by the end of Teen Read Week (October 22, 2011).
