This year it will encompass nine Detroit Public Library branches and Children's Library, at least 20 schools and appoximately 2,400 students. Each teen will read books from the list of four young adult titles and complete a report from for each book read. Students will vote in late March for their favorite author and the winning author will speak at the Author Day Grand Final program held at Main Library in May 2007. The finale program includes dialogue with the winning author and the mingling of students from the participating Detroit Schools. Students will also learn about additional titles by the author and are given an opportunity to purchase autographed copies.
