Happy Halloween

I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween! Don't forget about our party tonight from 7:00-8:30. Who will be an Olympic Champion? Is it you? Find out tonight at the Pumpkin Olympics! There will also be a sundae bar. Yum!

Cooking with Julia

Hi yacsters: I hope that I see all of you tomorrow at Cooking with Julia from 2-3:30 p.m. If I don't, I will be really disappointed! Just kidding, but I do hope to see you there.
Also, I wanted to remind you about another program, Chat @the library. It is on Friday, November 3rd from 7-7:45 p.m. If you liked Get Crafty, you should attend this one because we will be making our very own journals! We will also be discussing Chasing Redbird, by Sharon Creech, which is an excellent book! Snacks will also served!!! Hope to see you there!
Mrs. Lukich

More questions

Hello yacsters! I hope that most of you were at the Battle of the Air Bands tonight! I was at a library conference this week, so I had to miss out, but I can't wait to hear all about it from Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Lukich.
In the mean time, I have another questions for you. Since this blog is for you, what sorts of things would you like to see on the blog? We will definitely be keeping announcements about library programs, but what else? Book reviews? web site recommendations? more fun facts? discussion questions? new items at the library? recipes? let us know!

Halloween survey

Hello yacsters! I wanted to let you know that their is a favorite horror book/author survey at the YA desk. Feel free to come fill it out! You might get a trick-or-treat!

October already

Hello yacsters! You should all watch your mailboxes, as your YAC postcard should be mailed out by the end of the week. Yay!
Also, it might be in your best interest to remember the phrase "steve the cat". It may come up at the YAC meeting and be worth your while.
