And the winner is ...
SWON's Teen Reading Challenge[1] is complete, the pages tallied, the
readers counted, the numbers averaged and we have a winner! But first,
some numbers:
We had 25 teams and 177 readers, who read a total of 3,132 books with
21,534 pages! Wow! Your reading has helped us gather data for 2,308
unique titles and you read, on average, 5,206 pages each. This will
provide us all with excellent RA. Keep an eye out for read-alike lists
coming later in twenty6TEEN[2].
Our largest team was "Sparkle Ponies" of MidPointe Library with 25
members, and the most pages were read by "Dumbledore's Army" of Preble
County. They read 83,681 pages as a team. The longest novel was read by
Damien Kristof of Cincinnati Public's "Reading Rambos." Damien read a
novel that was 1,007 pages long! Hope you enjoyed it!
Best team name goes to "Snape Oddities" also from Cincinnati Public.
This is not an objective award -- I just really liked the name.
But now, what you really came here for. And the winner is...
*1st Place* and $250 for the library goes to: *Book Mafia* of
Cuyahoga County
*2nd Place*, a copy of Libraries Got Game[3] and their choice of
Pandemic [4]or Power Grid[5] goes to: *The Regional Reading Rockstars*,
(mostly) of the Kenton County Public Library
*3rd Place* and a free tech program[6] from me goes to: *The Mad Hatters
*of Cincinnati Public Library
Curious how they stacked up? Here's our top 5 and the average
pages read:

*Team* *Library* *Average Pages Read* Book Mafia Cuyahoga County, OH
15,109 Regional Reading Rockstars Kenton County, KY 13,729 The Mad
Hatters Cincinnati, OH
12.277 The Wicked Witches of Westwood Cincinnati, OH 8,224 GR8 in D8N
   Dayton, OH 6,981
Didn't win anything this time? No worries, you can win *$500 for your
library's teens* if you participate in our SLIP program[7], so bookmark
this link[8] and sign up this Friday[9]! And thanks to ALL our teams who
participated in #trc2016. I hope you enjoyed reading and we'll see you
next year!

And don't think that with #trc2016 officially over that it's the end of
twenty6TEEN -- in fact, it is only the beginning! Starting next week,
you can register for our teen summer program[10]: SLIP[11]. It's a new
kind of Summer Reading model. And don't forget, we've got Tech to
Lend[12], Games to Lend[13], and more coming. Keep an eye on the

sorts of relevant teen news and events.
