Coming Tuesday: Movie "Night"! Okay, so it is really in the afternoon, but anyways...

Hello TCPLS Teens out there reading this on the blogosphere! We had a great, quick book club meeting yesterday afternoon with lots of laughter and input! Sorry for any that missed it due to it was shorter than normal, but thanks for understanding that I had to head to my son's open house at his school.

This Tuesday, August 21st is Movie "Night". I will find something -given the request to have something Marvel Comic-ish- and we will watch it. I will provide the popcorn and lemonade. Come, relax, and hang out with your friends.

Next month's book club topic: Classics with a Twist!

Let's read something that takes a classic story line and puts a modern adaptation to the old tale. It could be something like a fairy tale put into a modern day setting or an ancient fable put into a graphic novel format. Have fun and if you need help finding something, let me know! I also recommend checking out www.goodreads.com to help in your search for great books.

Here are some examples of books  for next month:

Back to Book Club!

We had a fun time on last Tuesday creating new folders for your school papers! Another great way to recycle & re-purpose materials into a new creation!

This Thursday, August 16th at 4pm is the return of the Teen Book Club at 4pm. We will gather together to discuss our favorite reads from the summer & also decide on a theme for next month's meeting.  Since this will be the first meeting it shouldn't take too long. (45 mins to an hour).

Next Week: Movie Night! & Knit Wits! I hope to see you then!

School's Back!

Hey! Don't forget all the fun and educational opportunities we have for you at the library! If you have ideas and would like to share them with me, please come by and let me know! I hope everyone that attends the city and county schools had a wonderful first day! See you soon and happy reading! 

Up tomorrow:
Back 2 School Craft! @ 4pm!

Come in and make a cool folder to carry your notes and homework! We will be recycling some old Summer Reading logs into a fun, new creation!
