2023 Summer Scares Winners

https://bookriot.com/the-2023-summer-scares-winners-are-here/

“The 2023 guide is packed with ideas that library workers can use to engage their communities with these great titles, whether they’re putting up book displays, hosting author events, or planning an entire Summer Scares program series,” states Konrad Stump, co-creator of the programming guide. The guide was posted on March 15, 2023 on the Summer Scares Resource page at https://raforallhorror.blogspot.com/p/summer-scares.html

This year Summer Scares is excited to announce two new partnerships to join our existing partnerships with EBSCO’s NoveList database and the Horror Studies Collection of the University of Pittsburgh Library Systems. First, Summer Scares welcomes the Books in the Freezer podcast (https://booksinthefreezer.com/), which will be featuring Summer Scares committee members and authors beginning in March 2023 and continuing throughout 2023. 

Second, Summer Scares is excited to join iRead, a summer reading program that has been adopted by nine states and across the globe by the Department of Defense for libraries on military bases. “While there is nothing scary about Summer Reading, there is no better time than summer to scare up some great books. iREAD is thrilled (and chilled!) to partner with Summer Scares to introduce Horror titles to school and public library workers in order to help them start conversations with readers that perfectly aligns with our mission to bridge the summer gap, while inspiring literacy and life-long learning,” shares incoming iREAD Content and Development Manager, Becca Boland. “We look forward to working with Summer Scares to help people find their voice – even if it is to scream!”
