"Make Waves" the Teen Summer Reading program is about to kick off. Starting next week, on your last day of school teens ages 11-18 are invited to pick up a bingo card (here at ACPL or download it from the web page) and begin the Teen Summer Reading Challenge! For each 5 squairs of the bingo card a teen completes, s/he gets a prize! Prizes will start being awarded June 4th so get going!

Don't forget we have lots of fun events also planed for the summer! Next Thursday (June 3rd) will be our Summer Reading Kick off party! we hope to see you there!

I (Bailey) have just finished the Sea Monster Jeopardy game and boy oh boy some of the questions are tough ones! You guys had better brush up on your sea monster trivia! 

I'm so excited to start summer reading! Hope to see you all soon!

Good news everyone. Today was our first official meeting of the Teen Advisory Group. Things went really well in my optimistic opinion! We extended the event time, so now teen events start at 3:30 and go until 5pm. We also planed the meetings for the next two months, so check the events page for more details!

On a different note, Laura and I placed a rather large order for the teen section so expect loads of manga and fiction in the coming months!

Hope to see you next week teen!

Fall Book Club

7/21/2009

Yes teens we are Attempting a Book Club one more time. Last time we tried a book club we let you pick and it was a royal flop, so this time Laura and I are going to choose for you. Thus far Laura and I are leaning towards a series, Pride and Prejudges and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters to be read over the course of the fall. We need to order these books SOON, so if anyone has any strong objections to this Please let us know ASAP.

Its That Time Again

Summer reading is winding down, and our last three events are on the horizon, so now its time to plan for the fall! Laura and I cant do it alone, we want to hear from you. What programs would you like to see at the library that we haven't done before? What programs have we done before that you really enjoyed? Dose a Book Club sound fun? What about the return of the Chimera Gaming League? Tell us what you want to do!

So Here is what Laura and i are tossing around,

August 6 gaming league, 13 book club, 20 green art, 27 duct tape crafts. September 3 gaming league, 10 book club, 17 creative writing, 24 banned books. October 1 gaming league, 8 book club, 15 knitting (not just for girls!), 22 teen read week, 29 Halloween party!

Thoughts?
