MOVIE NIGHT!

Tonight is Teen Movie Night!

The Village

Doors at 6:30
Movie at 7:00 SHARP!

Popcorn, soda, munchies!

Next Event - Game Day!

The next Teen Game Day will be at the end of February vacation - Friday, February 20, 3 - 5, at the library. Come play Wii, Apples-to-Apples (which was an even bigger hit than Wii last time), Uno, Skip Bo, Blokus, and MORE!! We'll have snacks and music. Come hang out with your friends before getting back to school - it's fun!

Teen Writing Contests

There are a couple of teen writing contests to tell you about -

The LWV (League of Women Voters) Student Essay Contest
www.lwvma.org

and

Polyphony HS Claudia Ann Seaman Awards for Young Writers
www.polyphonyhs.com

Both offer cash awards, and the Polyphony contest also offers the chance to be published. If you are a writer, check them out.

WE HAVE ALL THE DETAILS IN THE TEEN SECTION AT THE LIBRARY!!

(Just a point of interest - I had a teen patron at my last library actually win an award in one of these things, so it can be done!)

Saturday is MOVIE NIGHT!!

This coming Saturday, December 13th, is the Library's first TEEN MOVIE NIGHT!

We'll be showing a Christmas comedy - one that you are sure to find funny, but perhaps one that you haven't seen before. There will be popcorn and soda and maybe even some cookies. So grab a date, grab your friends, and come to the MOVIES!

Doors open at 6:30 (so you will have time to check out a book or two before the show!) and the movie starts promptly at 7:00.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!

SEE YOU SATURDAY!
