Teen of the Month: Signy

At Aurora Public Library, we're passionate about celebrating the voices, talents, and passions of the amazing teens in our community. Each month, we highlight a local teen to learn more about who they are, what inspires them, and how they stay curious, creative, and connected.

This month, we're excited to introduce our Teen of the Month: Signy, from Dr. G.W. Williams. Signy is one of the Summer Reading Challenge  (SRC) volunteers  at the library.

I normally discover new books through social media, either from book suggestions or fan-made content.

3. Have you ever read a book that changed how you see the world? Which one?

Normally, I stay motivated knowing that doing the schoolwork is less stressful than putting it off.

6. What’s one study tip or habit that works well for you?

I usually either rewrite all of the material and review it, or turn the study material into a game to make it more fun. 9. For me, it's many people—like family, friends, coaches, and teammates.

I would like to learn ASL, since I think it's a cool skill that will really benefit me in the future.

Library is helpful for teens studying during the school year, but it's also great for borrowing materials like books.

I would enjoy seeing more craft activities where the community can make decorations for the library or around Aurora.
