Teen Book Club Forming -- 1st Meeting
Tuesday, May 27 -- 4:00 - 5:00 PM -- Children's Program Room
Want to talk about interesting books and meet new people? The Library is forming a new book club for teens in grades 6 through 8.
Come to an introductory meeting to find out more about the Club. The Club's teen moderator, Fire Laperriere, has chosen the first book: The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch to be read for June. Participants do not have to read the book for the first meeting.
Basic CPR Workshop for Teens
Thursday, May 29 -- 3:00 - 5:00 PM -- Teen Scene
If you've ever wanted to learn how to save someone's life, this workshop is for you!
Former Fire Chief Bob Silva will be conducting a workshop to teach teens how to do basic CPR, use a defibrillator, and perform the Heimlich maneuver. Registration is required and space is limited, so sign up before all the spots are taken!
Teen Scene Hours
From 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, teens aged 11-18 are welcome to check out their new space and borrow new teen materials--including Wii, PS2, and Xbox 360 video games.
Bring your friends and try out our new comfy furniture--video bean bags, audio rockers, sphere chairs, and a body pillow. The Teen Advisory Group members will sometimes have snacks and water available to purchase. Funds will go towards teen materials, programs, and services.
Don't forget to bring your own library card to surf, game, or borrow materials.
Can't find your library card?
Get a replacement card for a $1.00.
Remember!
You must have an Internet Permission Form signed by a parent in order to use the room. Pick up a yellow form at the Library and bring it home for your parent to sign. Your parent can drop it off at the Library.
Video Game Donations
Do you have any older video games cluttering up your room? Or games you've already mastered and don't play anymore? Donate them to the Library's new teen video game collection!
The Library is looking for PS2, Wii, GameCube, and Xbox games, in playable condition, that are rated E, E10, or T. Your donations will help build a video game collection that teens will be able to borrow or use on Teen Scene's PS2 and Wii consoles. We appreciate any donation that you can make!
