Fall Fun!

Happy Fall, everyone!  Yes, fall events are well underway here at the Vicksburg Library.  We have tons to talk about for October and November! 




Teen events still happen every Tuesday, after school, from 3-4pm.  Tomorrow, October 8, we have a new Anime and Origami Day.  We have a special guest teaching origami projects and we will also be showing a new anime series on the big screen!  Come do one or the other, or both while you enjoy Japanese snacks and drinks.  On October 15, we will combine a craft project with food to make Edible Earth Models and on October 22, we will bring out some of the new board games the library purchased over the summer and have some free game time.

Then, on Thursday, October 31, we have a special event for -- you guessed it, Halloween!  Come in at 4:00pm to participate in a Food Fear Factor.  Do you have the guts to participate in an extreme (and gross) eating challenge?  November will feature even more fun -- we have a writers' workshop, a Wii tournament, an Operation Gratitude craft project (make a craft project that will help your community), and more!


Next up is a reminder that we are always looking for teens to meet on the last Thursday of every month from 3-4 to be a part of our Teen Advisory Board (TAB).  TAB gets to help plan programs, help pick out books and movies to add to the library's collection, and may be able to get credit for school volunteer hours.  Our next meeting is Thursday, October 24 at 3:00pm.  We will be discussing what programs we want to do over the winter, snacks and prizes for those programs, and what movies we want to add to the collection for teens.

Lastly, I wanted to thank everyone that came to our new book club for teens and tweens last month!  We had an AWESOME turnout!!  In case you haven't heard, Ms. Kristy and I started a new book club for teens and tweens.  We are calling it "Pizza & Pages."  Basically, we will pick a book and announce it and then you have the month to get it from the library (or somewhere else) and read it!  On the day of the Pizza & Pages meeting, just show up ready to talk about the book and discuss it with other teens.  We will supply the books, the discussion questions, and most important -- the pizza!  The next meeting is Thursday, October 24, and the book is "The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg" by Rodman Philbrick.  Come in today to pick up a copy! 

Any questions or comments?  Contact me, Ms. Beth -- the Teen Librarian -- at 649-1648 or at bdowson@vicksburglibrary.org.  Hope to see you soon!!
