Easter Closing

We will be closed Friday-Sunday, March 21-23 for Easter holidays. We will reopen on Monday March 24.

Book discussion group ideas

We are trying to start a book discussion group for teens here at the library. One idea I had was to read some books that are series just before the next installment comes out. Examples: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer arrives in August. We could read Twilight in May, New Moon in June, and Eclipse in July. Also Brisingr by Christopher Paolini comes out in September. We could read Eragon in July and Eldest in August. What do you think?

Teen Tech Week

Next week, March 2-8, is Teen Tech Week. It is a week to promote technology and services to teens in the library. The theme this year is Tune In @ Your Library. We will be having music based events all week. The programs are FREE and open to all 6th through 12th graders. They will begin at 5:00pm unless otherwise stated. Here is what will be happening next week:

Monday, March 3-CD Dream Catchers (we will make dream catchers out of old CDs)

Tuesday, March 4-Podcasting (learn what podcasting is and how to add to your blog or MySpace)

Wednesday, March 5-CD Swap (bring in those gently used CDs to trade with others)

Thursday, March 6-Movie-School of Rock (Rated PG-13)

Friday, March 7 (2:00-4:00pm)-Gaming (we will have a PS2 with DDR, a PS2 with Guitar Hero and a Wii with Wii Sports to play in the meeting room)

Another New Book

A series that has gotten a lot of attention lately is the vampire series by Stephenie Meyer. The books published so far are Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. The final book of the series Breaking Dawn will be released on August 2. A companion book, Midnight Sun, is Twilight told from the guy's perspective. The movie of Twilight will come out in December. I highly suggest you reading the series.

New Book

I have been meaning to let you know this for a while.

Christopher Paolini's third book in the Inheritance series will be out on September 20. The title is Brisingr. We will have it to check out as soon as it hit shelves. I can't wait, can you?

February stuff

Here are the programs for the month of February:

The performers that were to come on the 8th cannot make it. Instead, we will watch the movie Stomp the Yard. It is rated PG-13 so permission slips will be needed for those under 13. It will be in the main meeting room and start at 2:00pm. Many students do not have school that day so come join us for the movie.

We will have our Teen Advisory Club meeting on the 10th. We will be discussing programs for April and for the summer. Any 6th through 12th grader is invited to attend.

We will show the movie Bridge to Terabithia on the 19th. It will begin at 6pm in the main meeting room. Refreshments will be provided.

January Programs

Happy 2008!! Just wanted to let you know about the teen programs for this month.

We will be having our Teen Advisory Club meeting at 3pm on the 13th. If you would like a say in what programs and movies are held at the library, come and join this group. We will discuss programming for March and April, choose some books, and talk about a name for the group.

On the 15th, We will be making beeswax candles from 4:30-5:30. You can take home whatever you make.

On the 22nd, we will watch the movie Transformers. If you are under 13, you will need a permission slip signed by a parent.

Refreshments are provided at all events. Come join us for fun at the library this month.
