"Poetry: the best words in the best order."           -Samuel Taylor Coleridge April is right around the corner and that's means it's time for the 7th annual Poetry Contest sponsored by the Teen Advisory Group!  We'll be accepting submissions from anyone in the 1st-12th grades until April 30.  Please submit some of your work and join us for the announcement of the winners at our Coffee House Poetry Reading on Friday May 3rd, at 4:30. Refreshments will be served! That line, if you were wondering, is from a poem called Daffodils by William Wordsworth. Here's a video of it being read by Jeremy Irons (Brom from Eragon?)   DFTBA, Sti

It's that time again! YA March Madness at the library! Check the YA area for this year's bracket, character sheets and the books. Oh and vote! This year, in the first round we're pitting  characters from (a boy and a girl) books against each other. It's an epic list! Since it's so long, you'll have to vote in person for the first round but after that you can vote here on the blog! DFTBA, Sti

Hey y'all! Hope your Spring Break is off to a great start! Despite your vacation, I'll be hard at work and we'll have all of our regularly scheduled programs. That means video games on Tuesday, TAG on Wednesday and a craft on Friday. PLUS! The Girls' Only Slumber Party on Friday from 8:00pm to 8:00am. If you're in town, I hope you can make it, we always have a lot of fun. All you need is a signed permission slip (found at the desk in the Children's Department), your sleeping bag/pillow/whatever you like to bring a to a slumber party, and a snack and drink to share with everyone! We'll play everyone's fa vorite book game (if you don't know what that is, come learn). We 'll also be having a Disney movie marathon, a dedicated Doctor Who room, Mario Party Wii area, and of course some sort of freeze tag (mostly likely of the Weeping Angel variety!). DFTBA, Sti

We're playing Mario Kart today! See you at 4:30 in the Activity Room!
