This Week in the Library - October 15, 2012


  

Hey everyone!

This week is a very big week for the Teen and Young Adult Department at Booth and Dimock Memorial Library. It is Teen Read Week and we have a ton of stuff planned for you guys!

Tuesday night from 3 pm to 8 pm there will be Speed Booking and a Teen Open house. For those of you who do not know what Speed Booking is well you are in store for a treat. Taking the idea of Speed Dating to the library, teens will be given several books to review in a short amount of time.  They can examine the cover, check out the first chapter or skip to the end. They give a quick review as to whether they would like to read it or not. Fun right? Just imagine this with tons of teens running around the room trying to find books they like the best. Fun is in store.

The Open House is a chance for you guys to let people know what we are all about. Pick your favorite book and make a display to bring it for it. Be creative as possible and show everyone some really great books to check out. Do not be afraid to go all out!

Thursday the 18th at 3 pm brings us to Steampunk Bracelet night.  Here is a chance to show off your skills and make some great accessories for yourself or as a gift. For those of you who do not know what the genre Steampunk is, well here is the best way to describe it: "What the past would look it, if the future happened sooner."

To wrap the week up, we will be watching a teen choice movie on Friday; The Outsiders. A great classic movie based off the novel by S.E. Hinton. (A copy of the book is located across from the Teen Desk on the wire display). Be there at 3 pm sharp to get your set and some food to munch on. It is sure to be a real treat.

See you all this week!
