books that rock!

August 25th, 2009

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!

August 7th, 2009

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!

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.

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!

May 20th, 2009

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!

Readathon!!

March 21st, 2009

Brochure!  youthpark.pdf

April 09/Readathon

There are 2 things we love at the library.. The first is reading (but I bet you could have guessed that)  and the second is the County Youth Park!

We’re big believers that teens  need safe and more importantly FUN places to hang out! The library is one of those places.. but we don’t exactly have enough room for you to skateboard or run around!

So that’s where the Youth Park comes in!

To support the Youth Park we’re hosting a Readathon !   For the month of April everyone can come in, and get  a pledge form - set a goal for the number of books you want to read in April –  and then get people that you know & love to sponsor you. Read as much as you can through the month of April.

For midmonth encouragement, come to the READING FEAST April 14 at 6:00 p.m.   We’ll have food and lots of suggestions of books to read.

Then, May 2nd we’ll have a party to celebrate and relax after a month of lots of reading!
