March is a busy month!

March Madness isn't all you have to look forward to this month!

Our 4th Annual Girls Only Slumber Party will take place on Saturday, March 10th from 7pm to 8am. Permission slips will be available starting this Friday (March 2). Come pick up one for yourself and a friend! The Slumber Party is always a lot of fun, we try to stay up all night playing video games, watching movies, doing crafts, reading, and just hanging out!

March is also the month The Hunger Games will come out in theaters! If you're as excited as I am, you'll want to join us for our Hunger Games party the week before the premiere. On Friday March 16 at 3:00 we'll be making Mockingjay tshirts (bring a blank tshirt!), creating Hunger Games inspired crafts, eating snacks, and testing our survival instincts with some physical challenges.

There are plenty of things to do at the Library this March, so come out and join us!

DFTBA,
Sti

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...
