Hola, Teens!
Have I told you lately how awesome I think you all are? You have come to the library in droves the last week (and a day!) to sign up for summer reading! I am so excited that you are so pumped for the YA programs and prizes this year. If you haven't signed up, make sure you stop by. If you have already signed up, make sure to tell your friends how awesome it is and send them down!

Don't wait til the last minute - get your books early! You can register for my amazing summer reading program while you're at it!

Summer Reading Registration
Greetings, all.
Once again, I find myself embarrassingly lax in my blogging. However, I promise you that I have been hard at work planning a fabulous summer reading program.
Registration will begin on June 18th. Stop in that day to sign up and you will be treated to bonus snacks! That's right - we're having a registration party. You'll also get your summer reading packet and copious amounts of candy.
For all of you super-ambitious students out there, your summer reading books will also be available. Get a head start on your reading assignment so you are not scrambling for a book at the end of summer.
I hope to see you all in a few weeks!

February "Stuff"
Greetings, all!
Just wanted to give you a heads up on some great programs we'll be offering in February. Remember those New Year's Resolutions you made a million years ago (er, 32ish days ago) where you said you wanted to get in shape? Well, the BPL is here to help!
On February 18th, grab a group of friends and come to the library for a FREE Zumba class. If you've never tried Zumba before, now is the time to do it. You will have so much fun you won't even realize that you're exercising! This class will start at 2 PM.
Also, if you love to cook or just like to eat, come to a free, hands-on, cooking demonstration on February 28th. You'll get to see great food prepared right in front of you and get some recipes to try at home. This program will start at 6 PM and we ask that you please RSVP if you would like to attend.
