School is Here...But Don't Worry! So Are YA Programs!

I hope everyone's first day of school was fantastic. Or at the very least, not awful!

 I thought I'd give y'all a week to get used to school. To acclimate, if you will. And then we'll start with all of our awesome programs! 

 As usual, Tuesdays from 4:30-5:30 will be video games and snacks
Then Teen Advisory Group meetings will be on Wednesdays 4:30-5:30
And Fridays will be different programs like snack making and board games and hedgehogs made out of books. 

 I've uploaded the program brochure below, so you can see just what we've got going on this fall. But you can also come in to the library and get a paper copy. AND you can get reminders on your phone if you text the message @yaprograms (516) 342-4409




See you next week!

 DFTBA,
Sti

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!

By
  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...
