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!

It’s ONTARIO PUBLIC LIBRARY WEEK!

What does that mean? It means it’s time to celebrate your public library & all the stuff it does for you. (Like, programs and stuff to do, books that you can borrow for free, and all that homework help you’ve been getting!)

How are we celebrating this year? We’re giving away PRIZES!

(yes… the public library celebrates public library week by giving YOU stuff, just for using the library)

SO…. stop in   THIS WEEK to fill out a ballot and you could win:

-  A computer from Microage in Belleville
- Brunch for 2 at Harvest Restaurant
- Bookstore gift certificates
- a painting by Aiden Hailey

Looking for something to do this summer? The Library’s got a bunch of stuff happening for teens!

Bring in acrylic art, pastel, collage, digital work, or sculpture.  Any medium is accepted – we’ll display it all! Stop in for more details or just bring  in your artwork & have the opportunity for your work to be judged by artist Bay Woodyard.

3. Fun events including papermaking, body art, and special effects makeup!  Pick up the calendar or check peclibrary.org for specific details.  More info will be on the blog and our facebook page, so stop by! (facebook: Teen Room)
