Big Ol' Post


Sorry it's been so long since I posted last! It's been a busy few weeks. Let's see, what have we been up to here at the library?

We created some much needed spaced in the YA department! Now you can browse for books without bothering the people sitting in the big arm chairs. We're also open to hear any of your ideas about improving the space, so let me know what you want to see in that area and I'll see if I can make it happen!


We've played some games--Apples to Apples which is a hilarious game.

We worked on our Deconstructive Journals and watched Nanny Mcphee.

The TAG kids handed out lots of free goodies at the FIG Festival.

All in all, it's been crazy but a lot of fun. And I suspect it's going to get crazier with End of the School Year Madness. :)

Luckily, my semester is almost over. This means that I finally have time to read anything I want! I've got a whole stack to go through including Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson and Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. Is there anything else I should be reading? Let me know and I'll add it to my list!

Coming up this week is a TAG meeting (tonight from 6-7) where we will judge the poetry contest submissions. And the Coffee House Poetry Reading on Friday, so come dressed like a Beatnik and be ready for some awesome poetry!
Hope to see you there!

I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti

First Blog Ever!

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...
