Friday Craft Kit, All Hallow's Reading, and Cooking Mayhem!

It's the start of Spooky Season (Ms. Sti's absolute favorite time of year!), so a lot of our crafts will be Halloween related!

To celebrate the kick off of our new All Hallows Reading Challenge on friendswoodlibrary.beanstack.org we're making this set of 5 spooky bookmarks!

Here they are keeping my place in the book we'll be reading for the return of the Middle Grade Book Club, Ghost Squad by Claribel Ortega!

Pick up the craft kit at the drive through window or in the Children's Department!

Keep an eye out on our website and in the app store on your phone for the link to Beanstack, our new reading challenge software! This is where we'll be posting reading challenges for the whole family that will be available year round! To start things off we have an All Hallows Reading Challenge starting Saturday Oct. 3! Log your time reading and complete different activities to earn our special Halloween Treat Bag that can be picked up at the library on Halloween!

And finally, here's a hilarious clip from last week's Streaming with Sti Animal Crossing program

First Blog Ever!

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...
