People don’t own the water in their own village
and they certainly don’t own the diamonds and gold.
Millions are forced to make dinner out of garbage and dust
The book, made up of poems, letters, and diary entries from fictional girls- is a powerful collection of the issues plaguing girls all over the world - from not having purple Uggs boots to being sold into sex slavery.
I say let’s go for it
if it’s all coming down.
I say let’s speak it
let’s fight it
let’s right it.
The author describes the book as a “celebration of the authentic voice inside every girl and an inspiring call to action for girls everywhere to speak up, follow their dreams, and become the women they were always meant to be.”

Attention All Hunger Games Fans!
The title and cover of the new book has been announced on the Scholastic website - http://onourmindsatscholastic.
They’ve also listed a few key points about the new book, including some real surprises, like: Despite internet rumors to the contrary, it is not revealed that Cinna has been secretly designing outfits for a Capitol operative known as “Lady GaGa”.
The Library has both the Hunger Games and Catching Fire, so check those out if you haven’t already!

Just noticed this cool list by author Cecil Castelluci - (she wrote the Queen of Cool and Boy Proof!) of ” ‘Books that Rock’ — eight novels with characters whose lives are changed by (turn that down!) music”
The Library has most of these - so if you’re interested, stop in and ask for them!
Cirque du Freak movie trailer!
If you’ve been reading the Cirque du Freak series, or Darren Shan’s other super-popular series, you won’t want to miss this!
http://www.comingsoon.net/
The Cirque du Freak movie trailer is available online! Read the books if you haven’t yet - they’re a little creepy, sorta scary and all-around exciting! The first book tells the story of a guy who gets tickets to a “Cirque du Freak” (basically, a freakshow) with all kinds of gross, scary, and weird acts - and before he knows it, he’s more…well, involved than he ever intended.
teen art show artists
The first-ever opening night celebration of the Liam Garrett Memorial Art Show was a success! Members of the Prince Edward County Arts Council, parents, and interested community members came to the Library to view the art, and meet the teen artists.
Stop in to the Picton Branch of the Library to vote for the People’s Choice Award Winner and view the variety of impressive art on display!

So, if you’ve been to www.skulladay.com you know that Noah Scanlin made a new skull every day for a year - and then made a book about the project. He uses things like soy sauce, twigs, comic books, and… well, you’ll have to check out the book to find out what other stuff he uses in this cool, but admittedly a little weird, ongoing art project! This is one of New York Public Library’s Stuff for The Teen Age 2009 and totally worth checking out!
