Summer Update!

I know I've been absent for a while, but if you've been at the library at all this summer I'm sure you understand! We've had a crazy busy summer so, at the end of June we had more people signed up for the Summer Reading Clubs then we had for the entire summer of 2010, so there's that. I've also been busy with our awesome Reading Redcoats: The British Invasion programs, which have been a smashing success if I do say so myself :)

Here's a brief recap of some of the things we've been up to, in photo form:

Castle Building

Tea Cup Candles

British Jeopardy

Knight Jousting

Fake Mustaches

Planetarium


And we can't forget about our EPIC Harry Potter Lock In!

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...
