Hey, everyone! We have lots to talk about!! Fall is almost here and with it comes a lot of new and returning things at the Vicksburg District Library.
First up -- the Teen Scene. Did you know that the Vicksburg District Library has weekly events for teens during the school year? Did you know that we also have special events every month for the combined Tween and Teen groups? Yep! Starting on Tuesday, September 10, we will start having Teen Scene events again at 3:00pm. We're kicking off with a Back-to School Trivia Contest for prizes. The Tween/Teen Event will be held the following week on Thursday, September 19, from 4:00-5:00pm, where Ms. Kristy will be hosting a Banned Books Week celebration. The last Teen Scene event for the month will be held on Tuesday, September 24 at 3:00pm, when we will have Movie and a Snack: Part 1 -- we'll start a brand new DVD and finish up the following Tuesday (October 1) at 3:00. Don't miss it -- and bring your friends! Teen events are open to everyone ages 12-19!
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 first meeting for this school year is Thursday, September 26 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.
I also wanted to mention a BRAND NEW PROGRAM! Ms. Kristy and I are starting a new book club for teens and tweens this month. 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! Our first pick is the book "Wonder" by R. J. Palaccio. Come pick up a copy now and read it! Then join us on Thursday, September 26, from 4-5pm to eat pizza and discuss "Wonder."
Lastly, just another reminder that we are now open on Sundays again until next summer! Our Sunday hours are 1-5, and either Ms. Kristy or I will always be here to help you with homework, let you use the computers, or check out materials for you. C'mon in and visit!
