The week of September 25th - October 1st is Banned Book Week. Some popular teen books are on the 10 Most Challenged List. These include Twilight, The Hunger Games, Lush, What My Mother Doesn't Know, and Crank! A couple of my favorite series hit the Most Challenged Books of the Decade list, His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman and, of course, Harry Potter by J K Rowling. For more information check out our display at the library or the ALA Banned Book Week Web site.

October 18th, the Teen Book Club will meet to discuss Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. The TAB meeting will follow. On October 25th, the 16+ Book Club will meet. Early Release Gaming will be held in the Teen Room from 2pm until 3:30pm on October 26th!

Prepare now for the Halloween Party!! We will be having a Costume Competition, Scary Storytelling and Monster Trivia. We will be serving pizza and refreshments for the first arrivals. This event will be held October 28th from 6pm until 8pm. Please enter through the Sheppard Street entrance, as this will be an after hours event.

We are also looking forward to National Gaming Day on November 12th. There will be games in the gallery area from 1am until 4pm. The Teen Open Gaming will be from 2pm until 4pm in the meeting rooms. Tween Open Gaming will be from 11am until 1pm. More information about National Gaming Day on the next blog!
