Teen Events
Teens, do you think there is nothing to do at the library? We understand the library can seem like a not so cool place to hang out, but we are offering lots of fun programs in the next few weeks.
Saturday, February 17th the West Leonard branch is having a "Magic Pants" program where you can bring in your own pair of jeans and decorate them however you like. It's to help celebrate the release of the latest "Sisterhood of the traveling pants" books, "Forever in blue" by Anne Brashares. The creativity begins at 2:00.
Also on the 17th at 2:00 at the Yankee Clipper Library, WaZoBia by Sunny Eselekhomhen, interactive African drumming, dancing, and singing will take place. A great musical experience for any age.
In March, on Saturday the 10th, to help celebrate the first ever American Library Association's Teen Tech Week, we will have Dance Dance Revolution at the Yankee Clipper Library. The dancing begins at 3:00.
All month in February, the library is having the African American book club for kids and teens. Just reading any 3 books by or about African Americans can earn you a prize and a chance at winning an I-pod. Need a suggestion? See a helpful librarian for some great titles! You can sign up at any GRPL location.
For all ages, the library will be having Taste of Soul on Sunday on February 18th. I attended this event last year and am so looking forward to it again this year. Great food, great music, and great art for all ages. And it's all free! Come check it out.
