Operation TBD
It’s finally here and now everyone can participate! Help rgz raise awareness of Support Teen Literature Day with YALSA on April 16th by participating in Operation Teen Book Drop (TBD ’09). Grab a label from our website and get ready to leave a book in your community. Then party it up with us at the Post-Op Party with authors and readers from around the world. This is the same day that rgz, GuysLitWire, and YALSA are dropping 8,000 books to hospitalized teens across the country. And where are the new YA books coming from? AMAZING publishers who have the heart to continue to give in our tight economic times. Bravo, publishers! We heart you!
