The book review will be posted on the Huntsville Public Library’s Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok, the Huntsville Library Teen’s Instagram, and the written review posted to Teen Advisory Group’s Goodreads bookshelf. The Teen Book Reviewer receives 5 hours of community volunteer service for each review.
