I suggest you go in there with the notes from the stop-reading panels, and tell those well-meaning folks, "Okay. Just do everything they did here, because obviously it did nothing to stop my reading."
I was one of those teenagers, too. My teachers hated me. One particular librarian was awful and refused to let me in to the school library for a time. I didn't get it - wasn't it a bigger problem that so many of my classmates considered "Calvin and Hobbes" mentally taxing? (Not that there's anything wrong with Calvin and Hobbes. I love them. But do they really fit the criteria for "chapter book"?)
Fortunately my parents agreed with me and told the librarian she was a moron, and got me access to the local university library.
