Summer Reading Challenge!

I thought it might be fun to see if our Young Adult patrons would respond to a challenge this summer. So I chose an incentive I thought you would enjoy, on top of all the prizes you already receive for joining the reading club during the summer.

The Young Adult Reading Club is still relatively new. It's for ages 11-18 and instead of counting the amount of books/pages that you've read, you keep track of the amount of hours you've read. I think this works really well, it rewards people who don't breeze through books and it challenges those who do!

So. Here is the challenge I'm issuing to all the teens who are planning on joining the Texas Teens Read Summer Reading Club

If you read a total of 5,000 hours I will dye purple streaks in my hair. Another Young Adult, Merrit Rowley has agreed to join me in this challenge.

So, we will go from looking like this:

Are you up to it?

DFTBA,

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

First Blog Ever!

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...
