Ways to get Involved at the Library

-
Libraries are not just a place for books these days, though let's be honest, we certainly have a lot of them!  But we also have movies, CD's, talking books, ebooks, and a ton of activities and crafts that happen every week!

There is an event every Wednesday at 2:30 specifically for teens.  Today, we have our monthly Games & Grub. We provide the xBox, Wii, board games, and snacks; you bring yourself and get ready to have some fun!  We also do 2 crafts a month and usually have a movie day. Movies vary, but this month's is The Princess Bride (showing March 20th).

We also have a Middle School Book Club, soon to be renamed the Teen Book Club due to the varying ages that attend the group.  We read current fiction, our book this month is There You'll Find Me! We meet the first Tuesday of every month. If you'd like to join call the library and let us know!

If you are looking for a great volunteer opportunity at the library, join our Teen Advisory Board! We meet on the last Tuesday of each month at 3:30pm. The TAB helps come up with programming ideas (like what crafts we do or movies we see) and suggests ways we can get more people involved with events. No need to sign up to attend, just stop by a meeting!

I hope to see you at some of our events coming up!
