Teen Read Week Special Event

As mentioned previously the theme this year for Teen Read Week is "Books with Beat". To celebrate there will be a "We've Got the Beat" Teen Open Mic on Tuesday October 19 from 3-5. What is your talent? Whatever it is, we want to see it! For example you could (and this is just a small list of suggestions):

• Read Poetry
• Share an Original Story
• Sing a Song
• Play an Instrument (Please no Armpits)
• Tell a Joke
• Do Something Dramatic
• Mime
• Pack a Suitcase

Do Not be Afraid to Think Outside the Box! Open Mic Royalty will be dubbed based on popular vote, so get cracking!

To sign up to Perform please call the Library at 649-1648, Come in personally, or send me a quick email at vdlashley@yahoo.com

Please Note: Flaming Batons and other Fire Implements are Prohibited! (Sorry Daredevils, no swallowing fire!)

Fall Programming Begins Tomorrow

Hello All! The school year is back in session and so are Teen Programs at the Library. Take a look below to see what is happening during the month of September. Remember all programs are open to Teens in grades 6-12 and are free! Also remember it is important to register (by coming in, calling, or emailing me @ vdlashley@yahoo.com) so that enough snacks are ready!

Tomorrow (Tuesday) September 14th we will kick things off with Wii Gamers! Come down to the lower level between 3 and 5 and play with others using the library's Wii System. We have Mario Cart (2 wheels, bring extra so 4 can play), Mario Galaxy, Guitar Hero (Only 1 Guitar, so bring yours if you have one!), and Dance Dance Revolution 3. If you have other games you would like to play bring them in to share! Lots of fun to be had. Don't particularly like video games, bring a board game or some cards and come hang out anyways!

J-Pop is returning on Tuesday September 21st from 3-4:30. The pocky will be waiting and some anime will be chosen for the opening festivities! Also with this being the first meeting of the fall we will discuss what you would like to watch (I will have a list of what we have) and also if their are other things you would like to do at our meetings bring your ideas!

On Tuesday September 28th from 3-4:30 an interest meeting will be held for anyone who thinks they may like to participate in a Book Club or in working on and performing some skits for a children's program at the Library. As always there will be snacks! If there is enough interest the book club group will choose the assignment for the next month and the Drama group (you can do both!) will start generating ideas! A note to all: Even if you don't want to act you can participate with drama! There is always lots to do behind the scenes such as creating sets, thinking up and creating costumes, etc. Put your talents to use!

That is all for the month of September! Teen Read Week is coming up in October and the theme is Books with Beat! I will be on later this week with more information on the exciting events coming up in October and with more information on a Special TRW event and information on the Halloween Bash (Actual Name TBD)!

See You @ The Library!
