At the Hampton Bays Public Library I worked w/the UA Hampton Bays movie theater for Teen Read Week. The teens had to create a story about their fantasy world, and the winners will each receive passes to the premiere of "Where the Wild Things Are", an awards ceremony @ the theater and they each got two passes for a future movie!
