Open Shelf

Book Review Newsletter of the Main Library Young Adult Advisory Council

Dear Readers,
Over the years, YAAC has been a creative outlet for many teens who love reading, literature, and culture. As YAAC members, we have reviewed thousands of books, almost 100 movies, concerts, restaurants, and events. We’ve gone to some Comicons, eaten lunch together, seen some matinees, and eaten somewhere near a million pieces of candy at our meetings. I am listing
these accomplishments and memories for one reason: this will be the last published issue of Open Shelf. As an Open Shelf editor, I have had a blast both compiling and writing reviews. My fellow editors and members of YAAC feel honored to have published Open Shelf for so long, and we also feel very proud to produce what we consider a product of our love and care. Finally, YAAC could not continue to produce Open Shelf without the unending support and encouragement from the library staff. Karen Peterson, our advisor, has been the most devoted and positive force in what we do. So, to conclude, we appreciate the support of everyone affiliated with Open Shelf. We hope you enjoy your holiday season and please be sure to keep on reading.

Cordially yours,
Ashley Mentzer
