March Madness Results!

I know that March Madness has stretched pretty far past March, through April and into May, but there were so many excellent contenders that it just turned out that way.

We started with 32 pairs of characters from different YA books and each week I challenged you to choose your favorite between the two. It was no easy task. Some hearts were broken. I had to break some ties, because you all equally loved some characters. It was difficult but so fun to see who got to move onto each new round as I tallied the votes on Tuesday nights.

And I'm excited to announce our final champion! Drumroll please....

Annabeth Chase!
  That's right, daughter of Athena, architect of the remodeled Mount Olympus, and long suffering girlfriend of a certain seaweed brained demigod is this year's winner of the YA March Madness! 

Have you read The Mark of Athena yet? If you have, come talk to me about! And are you excited about the Sea of Monsters movie?

Now. What should our theme be for next year's March Madness?

DFTBA,
Sti

I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti

First Blog Ever!

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...
