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 Murder Mystery Party

Shara Sala — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:43:00 GMT

RRPL's very own David Sharp wrote this year's Murder Mystery, 'Til Debt Do Us Part. This annual event is always a good time. Participants can audition for a part in the story or be detectives and solve the crime. Since this year's setting is a wedding and reception, finger food and refreshments will be served. Of course, as part of the Going Global, Staying Connected, participants will be entered into the end of summer prize drawing. Please join us Tuesday, July 26th at 6pm for a little dark humor and murder...

"It's the wedding of the year as multi-millionaire Phoebe Webb goes down the aisle for the sixth time. She's marrying Hollywood Stuntman Darren DeVille, himself extremely wealthy from his family's steel company. However, all is not well in the house of DeVille, and Darren may need his family's patented steely nerves to survive the web of Phoebe, and this wedding might turn out to be a funeral. I mean, it... it will turn out to be a funeral, because the event is called a Murder Mystery Party. It would be very silly to call it that if there were not a murder somehow involved. Actually, it's kind of silly the way these descriptions act all cryptic as if you didn't already know that a Murder Party is going to involve some kind of death with malice and forethought. Anyway, I hope that doesn't deter you from coming to Phoebe and Darren's wedding and reception. Might as well eat the cake. It's paid for and all, so it'd be a shame to let it all go to waste." - David Sharp

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!

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!
