Well, it's official - Summer Reading is here! Starting tomorrow, you can come down to the Teen department to register, get your candy, and sign up for programs. Also, on Monday, I will have bonus refreshments for all of you who register on the first day of the program.
This is another busy week and I look forward to seeing more of you to talk about Summer Reading. I'll be at West Bristol, Hubbell, and South Side this week.
The last thing I want to mention is that the Weekly Photo and Weekly Craft challenge will be posted by the end of the day. These are extra ways to earn raffle tickets. There will also be directions in the post for how to participate.

Summer Reading 2013
Hey Gang,
I've begun my annual school visits to talk about Summer Reading. Today I visited Greene-Hills and this week will also find me at St. Anthony's, West Bristol, and Edgewood. I can't wait to visit with all of you to talk about the programs I have for you this summer.
You can actually start registering for Summer Reading next Monday (6/17). I won't have seen all of you by then at your school, but you should have gotten a flyer at school and you can definitely come down and register at that point. On Monday, I'll kick off the start of SR with some refreshments in the Teen department.
For those of you looking to get your Summer Reading book, you can also find those in the Teen department. Look for the books with the blue sticker on the spine.
I hope to see you all next week!

Upcoming Teen "Stuff"
Greetings, Teens - and Happy New Year!
We are only a few days into 2013 and I can already tell it's going to be a great year in the Teen department. Make sure to stop by next week for lots of fabulous things that will be happening.
1. I am getting a bunch of new books in - who doesn't love finding new things to read?
2. Monday (1/7) is Teen Movie Night. This is a drop-in event that begins at 5:30. Popcorn and delicious baked goods will be served. We'll be showing a newly released animation flick about a kid who sees ghosts - it's very Paranormal. (I just dropped a huge hint in there). If you still aren't sure and want to check on the title, call the YA desk at 860.584.7787 ext 2020.
3. Wednesday (1/9) is Teen Game Night. We are playing my most favorite game in the world - Apples to Apples. This program is drop-in and begins at 6 PM.
Lastly, I just want to let all of you know that there is an amazing program that you can sign up for. It's called Click! and it's a teen photography program. The Friends of the Library are funding this program that allows me, and some professional photographers, to teach you how to take and edit amazing photos. We'll be editing in Photoshop and taking on some crazy picture-taking scavenger hunts. However, space is limited for this event - which will run on Thursdays beginning 1/24 at 3:45 PM. If you want more info, you can pick up a flyer at the YA desk. Space is limited and registration is required. Participants must be able to come to all 8 sessions and have their own camera to use.
Hope to see you all soon!

We are only a few days into 2013 and I can already tell it's going to be a great year in the Teen department. Make sure to stop by next week for lots of fabulous things that will be happening.
1. I am getting a bunch of new books in - who doesn't love finding new things to read?
