Teen Events for 6/18 - 6/22

We have a week full of programs planned for this week!

Monday is Book Club/TAG. We will be discussing Kristen Chandler's book Wolves, Boys, & Other Things That Might Kill Me. We will have pizza and drinks so if you signed up be sure to come. If you have never been to book club but are interested or if you are interested in joining the Teen Advisory Group (TAG), be sure to come today at 3:00 PM. The TAG group helps come up with ideas for teen programming.

Tuesday is our monthly Teen Movie! The plan is to watch Sherlock Holmes 2: Game of Shadows. We will begin at 2:00 PM. The movie is 129 minutes long so we should be done around 4:15 PM. If for some reason I am unable to get that movie I will post what we will be watching instead. We will have free popcorn and drinks so be sure to join us!

Wednesday is our weekly Summer Reading Programs! At 10:00 AM we will have a self-defense demonstration in the Teen room. Then at 4:00 PM we will be making Avalanche bars, which are DELICIOUS! Right now my cooking class is full, but there are usually cancellations so come anyway and we might be able to get you in!

Thursday is our weekly Game Time! Come join us at 2:00 PM for video and board games!

Hope to see you this week at the library!
