Looking for a summer read you don’t have to return? Check out the Teen Repurposed Reads bookshelf at ImagineIF Libraries!

As part of Summer Experience 2023, the library is giving away books previously housed in the young adult collection. These books have been weeded (removed from the collection) and are still in great condition. There are many reasons that libraries weed books: if they haven’t been checked out in a long time, are damaged or grungy, or contain outdated or irrelevant information. Removing books from the collection makes way for new and exciting items.

By taking a weeded book home you’re giving it a second chance to be loved and appreciated!


Head on over to the Teen Repurposed Reads bookshelf at your local ImagineIF Library and grab a book (or two or three) before they’re gone! While you’re there, don’t forget to pick up a Summer Experience Gameboard and join the teen expedition to score some epic prizes.
