Thanks to all of the loyal readers of this blog. This blog is going to be "on vacation" until the end of April, so be sure to check back then for exciting updates on spring and summer events at the library. Be sure to read the posts below too though to make sure that you haven't missed anything!

Easy Reads
New Section in the Teen Room:
The new "Easy" section in the Young Adult Room is intended for anyone who doesn't have the time to read a longer story, may have trouble reading, or just enjoys a simpler storyline. They may at first glance look like children's books, but they are geared towards grades 5 and 6. They are great transitional books - a good first step from the Children's room into the Young Adult Room. You can find this section above the fireplace for now, and you can tell which books are "Easy" by the bright orange sticker on the side. Let us know what you think!

Thanks!
Thank you everyone for coming to the event yesterday with ice cream and surveys and that extra little exciting moment! It was awesome to see so many of you!
The themes that got the most votes were horror/crime scene and space/aliens, so we'll be developing a combo of those elements to form the program. We announced that the grand prize is going to be a Nintendo DSi system - the brand new gaming device that comes out this spring!

Like ice cream?
Like winning stuff?
Get to the library this Friday at 4PM and get a free ice cream sundae when you help us choose a theme for this year's summer reading program! Every teen or 'tween who attends will get some free ice cream and a raffle ticket to win a DVD! The winner can choose either Wall*E or Twilight (which will be held for them when it releases later this month!).
Tell your friends, because we need as much input as possible!

Halo Book Chat THIS WEDNESDAY
Hey everyone!
Remember, the book chat for the Halo book "Ghosts of Onyx" is this Wednesday (March 4th) at 7PM. If ten or more people come, everyone will be entered in a raffle to win a $50 Gamestop giftcard! So tell your friends to come! If you haven't read the book yet, you still have a couple of days (it's a quick read) and we have a bunch of copies kept aside at the library. You don't need to finish the entire book to enter the raffle, you just need to know something to contribute to the conversation!
