Returning to the Golden Age of Television

By
That's right, I said Golden Age and that can mean only one thing: Nickelodeon in the 1990s. Yep, I was a kid and you guys were babies/not even born. Seriously though, the 90s were home to some really awesome television: Salute Your Short, Clarissa Explains It All, Hey Dude, Are You Afraid of the Dark and many more. The show we're going to be watching this Friday is called the Adventures of Pete and Pete, which is about 2 brothers named Pete, their family (dad who is obsessed with the lawn, and mom who has a metal plate in her head that picks up radio signals!), friends (Artie the Strongest Man in the World, Ellen, and Nona F. Mecklenberg who wears a cast because she likes scratching the annoying itch) and their antics in Wellsville.

For some more info on the show, check out the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Pete_&_Pete

And now for some pictures:





And next week, I'm putting together a really awesome scavenger hunt. And not your regular, boring scavenger hunt.

See you in the library,
Christina

First Blog Ever!

By
Well, this is the launch of the new Friendswood Library Young Adult Blog. I chose the name Book Bag after looking at the names of some other libraries' blog titles, but if there is a better name out there, let me know! I created this blog primarily so you can find out what activities are coming up for the 11-16 age group here at the library. I'll be posting brief descriptions of our activities, photos, book reviews, and other interesting things that I happen to see. In recent news: the TAG Christmas party was December 8, and everyone worked together to make it a success. Thanks to all the hardworking volunteers! We ate holiday snacks, sang Christmas karaoke, and had a snowball fight outside! Check out the library's Flickr site for all the pictures. We're taking a brief break during the Christmas holidays, but we'll be starting up again on January 11 with personalizing snack dishes to use every week. Instead of throwing away bowls and cups after our Fr...

Summer 2021 Recommendations for Your High School Reader!

By
  Summer is fast approaching and if you have a high school reader, you might be looking for new titles to engage them this summer. Librarian, historian, and author Alexandria Brown has allowed us to share their recommended lists to help make that easier! Per their blog*: As a high school librarian, offering reading recommendations for students is one of my favorite parts of my job. These lists are for parents, library workers, and teen readers... I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...
