A few awesome things to make up for my long absence.

So sorry I've been so bad about updating the blog this summer. I promise I will try to do better!! To make amends for my long absence, here is an awesome new video by John Green about, among other things, why it's awesome to be a nerd.



Also, this awesome website: Superhero Factory! You get to create your own Superhero, and they give you a great name. I can't mine but it was awesome, as you would expect.

Saw the Harry Potter, and though some of you I've talked to have been down on it for not being straight from the book, I will stand by it and say it's probably my favorite of the films so far. But bear in my mind it's been a while since I've watched the others. :) What did you think? I'm making some polls in the sidebar so let me know there and/or in the comments! To celebrate the movie release we threw a party here at the library. We ate lots, attended some Hogwarts classes, and won some prizes. Here are a few pictures from the event:


Wingardium Leviosa!

Transfiguration Class


Defense Against the Dark Arts


Care of Magical Creatures!

Okay, that's all for now, see you in the stacks!

DFTBA,
Sti

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...
