Will You Rock the Drop?

The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) celebrates Support Teen Literature Day 2011 today. To join the festivities, literary sites readergirlz and Figment encourage people everywhere to “Rock the Drop” by placing YA books in public areas.

The video embedded above explains the event. Here’s more from the blog post: “Imagine people around the globe finding copies of amazing books in unexpected places, gifted out of love for YA lit.”

If you videotape or photograph yourself dropping a book today, you can enter to win a full set of the Ruby Oliver YA series.

The organization encourages people to drop some of the teen titles on the most frequently challenged book list. Those books include Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, The Absolutely True Diary of a Half-Indian by Sherman Alexie, and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
