2-6 Teen : Teen Book Club, Going Global Staying Connected

The End of Global Adventures

Shara Sala — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 18:19:00 GMT

Going Global, Staying Connected has brought many fun adventures. Murder Mystery was a big success last week, thanks to the hard work and dramatic talents of Ms Jane, David Sharp and all our fabulous teens! We have had a wide range of events this summer; everything from Open Gaming to Zumba!

This week we will be hosting A Taste of India. Indian snacks and refreshments will be served while we learn a little Belly Dancing and how to wrap a Sari. We will also get Henna Tattoos! Last year, my Henna Butterfly turned out beautiful and lasted for days!! It seems like a perfect end to the summer. Please remember to turn in the last of your reading logs and drawing slips by August 8th. Remember - we have some excellent prizes to give away, such as a NOOK and a Membership to Crazy Skates!

At the August Teen Book Club, we will discuss Full Tilt by Neal Shusterman. Please feel free to come by and visit with us!

TEEN TUESDAY: PIZZA and a MOVIE!

Tuesday, July 5th we will be having our Going Global movie night. Copyright Licensing does not allow me to state exactly which movie this will be, but let's just say we will be watching Part 1 and Part 2 will be in theaters soon! We will be serving pizza and refreshments. All teen Muggles and Wizards are invited, so bring a comfy cushion or chair. We will be giving a door prize of a Movie Theater Gift Certificate! As with all of the Summer Reading Programs, the teens will be able to enter for the end of summer drawing. Prizes include more gift certificates, a VIP membership to Crazy Skates, and a NOOK. Pizza will be served beginning around 5:30. See you in Meeting Room A Tuesday night!

On Tuesday July 12th, we will celebrate our favorite British Librarian's Birthday! Meeting Room A will again hold our gathering including pizza, refreshments and, of course, cake. We will be also playing board games. No, presents are not expected. Please remember to fill out your drawing slip for the Teen prizes. If you do not know Ms Jane, this is a great time to come in and meet her!

Last week we had a great time at the Zumba / Yoga night. We are planning to have more classes in the future. Guys - these classes are fun for you too! We only had one brave male last week. He had a room full of girls all to himself!

Further into July, Teen Tuesday will include the Teen Book Club and the always popular Murder Mystery!

Remember we are Going Global, Staying Connected! Have a great summer!
