It's hard to believe but Summer Reading is already halfway over! Don't worry, there is still plenty of time left to earn lots of raffle tickets. Also, if you haven't signed up yet, what are you waiting for? Come on down to the YA department and get going!
We have another busy week ahead of us - enjoy!
For those of you who signed up, tonight (Monday, 7/16) is the Graphic Novel Art workshop with the CT Humanities. The program will begin at 6 PM. This program is full so, unfortunately, no one else may register at this time.
Tuesday, 7/17 @ 1 PM - The Hampstead Stage Company will be here for an afternoon of Improv acting! Test your acting abilities out or just sit back and enjoy the show.
Wednesday, 7/18 - Teen Craft Night. We will be making jewelry using beads and safety pins. The 6 PM time slot is full but I did open up a 7 PM time where there is still a few spots left. Call the YA desk to sign up.
Friday, 7/20 - Healthtrax will be back at 12 PM for another fitness class!
See you all at the library!

Week 3
Hello, Teens!
It's hard to believe, but we are already in to Week 3 for our Own the Night program. Last night we had an amazing art instructor come to do a Pastel Art workshop. Everyone's versions of Starry Night were amazing - I wish I had done one, too!
We have one drop-in program this week which will be on Friday. Healthtrax will be here to do a Core Fitness program. Come in and work out at the library - you'll earn raffle tickets!
Just a reminder, the library will be closed on Wednesday for the 4th of July. So make sure you stop in by 8 PM Tuesday to grab whatever books/materials you'll need to get you through Wednesday.
Also, make sure to stop in this week with your Goodie Coupons - it's double candy week!
Have a great week!

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!

Summer Reading Books
Greetings!
Before you know it, your teachers will be reminding you of your summer reading assignment. Before you take a trip to B&N, make sure you stop in the YA department first. The summer reading books for the Bristol Public Schools (high school and grades 7/8) have been pulled and are ready to be read. (St. Paul books are on their way!)
You'll have to stop by the library to peruse what's available as you are not able to place holds on summer reading materials.
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!
