The Teen Summer Reading Program—themed “Groundbreaking Reads”—continues through July 31. Participants can sign up online and either download and print their Gameboard and Summer Activities List using the link below or register in person at any public service desk in the Library.
After reading and completing activities, participants should return their Game Board to the Reference Desk to receive a prize and be entered into the grand prize drawing for a Kindle Fire.
There are a variety of exciting teen programs planned for June and July on Tuesday and Friday afternoons. Featured programs include a screening of the movie Beautiful Creatures, our Anime & Manga Club, and making jewelry and other accessories from recycled materials. To top it off, there’s a Lock-in Finale Party on Friday, July 26 from 8-11 p.m.
