First TAG Meeting of 2008!

Hey guys!

We had our first TAG meeting of the year last night, and I think it went pretty well!

We discussed some of the events we'll be planning and brainstormed some more ideas such as a Valentine's Day Party/Dance and some others. If you have any other ideas you can email me with suggestions or just find me at the library.

I also mentioned that we have unveiled the new teen site on our homepage. http://www.friendswood.lib.tx.us/teen%20info/index.htm You can also find a link to this blog there.

You should also know that there are book reviews to fill out in the young adult section. Let your friends know what books you've liked recently and which ones you hated! I'll be creating a bulletin board of your reviews so everyone can benefit from them and I'll also be posting them here.

Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...
