Todd watches Doctor Who

Every year when the weather turns cool and the days are shorter, we observe a very special tradition here at the library. It is called a Doctor Who Marathon. Since this time of year we also celebrate the Library Book Sale, our usual room is not available so we make the best of things and get cozy in the tiny History Room.

This is the picture beside the word 'cozy' in the dictionary

This year we used a projector to watch Season 6 and sat on cushions so we 'comfortably' fit 14-15 people in the (probably) 10ftx12ft room. There was a strict 'No Spoilers' policy since several people had yet to enjoy season 6 and we didn't want to well, spoil anything for them.

About 3 episodes in we noticed that Todd makes the best faces while watching Doctor Who. So of course we took pictures of him for the next 2 days. And again on Tuesday when we watched the finale...

Here are a few of my favorites.

Thanks for letting us take so many pictures of you Todd, I consider it my Christmas present!
Remember, the Doctor Who Christmas Special premieres on Christmas Day on BBC America and you can check out previous seasons on dvd from the library!

DFTBA,

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...

Summer 2021 Recommendations for Your High School Reader!

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...
