FYI RE: Teen Group

Hello Fellow Readers!

Just wanted to let you know that we'll be having our lone summer simple Teen Group Book Chat this Wed. June 25, from 2:30-3:30 in the storytime room. I'm thinking we'll keep it casual--just us & our beloved books, so feel free to bring recommendations for others'.

In fact, I encourage you to do so! I, for one, am as nosey as all get out, and want to know what's caught your eye as of late...

On that note, a few new titles soon to hit the paperback spinners...

(I'm gonna start this one before the meeting, so I can give ya a "yay!" or "nay!"

See you soon!

"Extra, Extra, Read All About It!"

Having been asked, "What's the Extra Challenge," I feel encouraged to oblige...

The EXTRA CHALLENGE is my gift to you--or, at the very least, the fulfillment of popular Teen Group request...

An additional teen reading raffle, the prizes awarded (gift cards of various denominations) to only 3 the most ardent of readers...

The requirements as determined by yours' truly, & you can pick up the booklet at the Children's Desk starting Monday June 23. And, and answer to anticipated questions, the rules are simple...

You'll recieve a ticket for each completed entry (or challenge) after it's completion is "certified" by one of your friendly local librarians. Complete as many as you wish (there are 10 total) and in any order that tickles your fancy, then plop your ticket into the EXTRA CHALLENGE raffle box.

It's easy beans!!!

And, yes, you can participate in both raffles, but we'' be periodically checking those tickets, so no doubling dipping titles!

You wanted a challenge?

Well, I expect ya to be reading then--& enjoying it to boot!

Books are good. :)

Any questions, ask away. You know where to find us! :)

See ya tomorrow @ 2:30 for our latest afternoon of Open Gaming fun!

"School's Out for Summer...!"

Happy Summer Break, Ladies & Gents!!!

Our annual teen summer reading program kicks off June 23rd...

So, you can start turning in those raffle tickets for each GLORIOUS book read on that very day!

Also available?!?!

Why, the highly anticipated (& deservedly so!) EXTRA CHALLENGE, of course.

All materials will be ready for pick up at the children's desk, conveniently located but a short distance from lots and LOTS of great YA books.

Let the reading begin!

(C'mon, I'll race ya...)

"I Promise..."

"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it!"

-- Henry David Thoreau

I trust you folks as are busy with finals and/or end of year yearbook signing fun as we are prepping for the upcoming summer reading program FUN?!?!
