I'm a few days late posting this but I wanted to share what my TAB group put together for an Anti-Valentine's Day display in the Teen Space. They did a great job, and some patrons even added their own heartbroken literary character names to the list!

It's that time again - Banned Books Week! One of my teens found the idea on Pinterest (of course!) and my amazing assistant surprised me by creating this display for me in the Teen Space, complete with a Passive Program!

Originally posted on Teen Services Underground This summer I completely changed things up for the teen program with scratch tickets! I had bookmarked an excellent post from 5 Minute Librarian and decided (kinda last minute) to just go for it. My numbers for Teen Summer Reading have been pretty steady over the past few years … Continue reading Summer Scratch Tickets for Teens!

It's that time of year again - Harry Potter's Birthday is, today, July 31st! And we celebrate every year at our library with a themed party. In the past, I've called this program "Harry Potter's Birthday Party" but I changed it up this year and renamed it "PotterFest." The new name seems more appealing to … Continue reading PotterFest 2017!

Gift Book Review ~ Me: A Compendium by Wee Society

megarlick916@gmail.com — Sun, 15 Jan 2017 17:56:51 +0000

I bought this for my cousin's almost-seven-year-old daughter for Christmas and I just had to share how cool this book is! It's like a journal, but even more fun because each page asks you different questions about yourself and you fill in the answers, either by writing them or by drawing a picture. It's a … Continue reading Gift Book Review ~ Me: A Compendium by Wee Society

Fun, Easy & Inexpensive Teen Programming: Decorating the Teen Space!

One of the "perks" of being on the Teen Advisory Board at my library is getting to set up displays and decorating in the Teen Space, especially for holidays. I usually make it part of a regular meeting or schedule a "special" meeting to decorate. In the past few years, the teens have made a … Continue reading Fun, Easy & Inexpensive Teen Programming: Decorating the Teen Space!
