Teen Summer Reading Club 2012! TSI: Realm of the Unknown

Okay, now for some happier news! It's summer, and that means our annual Teen Reading Club is happening! For those of you between the ages of 11 and 18, sign up in the Children's Department to start earning prizes for all the reading you're doing this summer. This year's theme is TSI: Teen Scene Investigation Realm of the Unknown



It doesn't matter if you're reading your ACT practice book, the newest dystopian fiction, required reading for school, and audiobook, or a stack of skateboarding magazines-anything counts! Simply keep track of the time you spend writing and record it on your reading log, then come in for your prizes! Easy!


And if you're looking for stuff to do when you're not reading, come join us for our YA summer programs! Every Wednesday and Friday at 3:30 we'll be exploring the unknown with fun crafts and games. Attend 3 programs and finish the 3rd stage of the Reading Club and you'll be invited for my end of summer Scare In Lock In on July 28! A whole night of creepy fun at the library!


Come pick up a YA 2012 Summer Programs brochure or check the library website, twitter and here for upcoming programming! If you'd like to texts sent to your phone about programs text @yaprograms to (516) 342-4409.

Post-Thanksgiving Post

:) Did you like my pun there? I love bad jokes. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I did, I love cooking with my mom, I love eating, I love taking family pictures, I especially LOVE cranberry sauce and PIE, and I even kinds love washing dishes (don't laugh!) so Thanksgiving is pretty much an ideal holiday for me. This year it was also my grandma's birthday so I got to talk to her on the phone for an hour. Well...maybe talk isn't the word I should use, listen is better since my grandma likes to ramble on and on. Remind you of anyone you know? :) Leave a comment to tell me about any fun traditions you have on Thanksgiving? My sister reenacted the funny commercial where the grandpa eats a scoop out of the pumpkin pie and then fills it in with cool whip! Hope everyone also survived the insanity of Black Friday! I ventured out late that evening when it had died down, but I didn't buy much, just an awesome cd and my sister bought a wonderful documentary: ...

Reading Rainbow-Hair

A few months ago I decided (with the help of several teens) that I wanted to make my own booktube channel of youtube and now it's a reality! If you don't hang out in the bookish community on youtube I'll explain, booktube is basically what it sounds like. Youtube channels dedicated to people reviewing and talking about books. Lots of them focus on new YA books but really people read across all genres. That's what I want to do. I'm a Youth Services librarian, so I read and love a lot of YA books, but I also read didn't genres/age groups etc. and I'm going to talk about all of them on my channel. BUT I won't just be talking about books by myself, some episodes will feature guests stars! First though, I recapped my favorite books from 2014 in two episodes (I talk so much we had to cut it in half). Watch them! Do all those nice things you can do to a youtube video: Like, Comment, Share, Subscribe! Stay posted for more! DFTBA, Sti
