Countdown to YAC pt 5

The fifth reason, and the one you might find to be the most compelling, to attend the YAC meeting tomorrow, is the LOCK-IN. This overnight at the library, held twice a year, is for active YAC members only and is NOT to be missed. If you haven't been to one, you should talk to a current YAC member to find out what the deal is with the lock-in. Some past activities have included: frisby golf, taste of terror (like fear factor), pudding eating contest, jello eating contest, relay races, photo-scavenger hunt, and so much more. The next lock-in will be in January. Come to YAC so you won't be left out!

Countdown to YAC pt 4

Reason #4 why you should not miss out on the very first YAC meeting of this school year: It is election night! That's right - we will be having our very own board elections. There are 4 positions to run for: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Special Ops Coordinator. We may also appoint a new bouncer as the last one graduated and is off at college.
If you want to take a bigger roll in YAC, running for a board seat is a great way to do so! Just a few things that you should know.

• Board members must be in high school
• You must be a returning YAC member. (This means you can't run for office at your very first YAC meeting)
• You will actually have responsibilities!

Join us on Tuesday, September 15, at 6pm for election night fun, with pizza, friends, and fun!

Girls Read-In- Special Event!

If you like to read and hang out with friends, you won't want to miss this special event! For 3 whole hours, right here at the TPPL, you can bring a book, pillow, and a blanket/sleeping bag and hang out...oh, and munch on snacks. The Girls Read-In is on Saturday, September 19 from 1pm - 4pm. Don't forget to register online or at the YS reference desk- because we can only accomodate 25 teens. And, if you want, you can bring a book or books to swap at the end of the program. Hope to see you there!

Countdown to YAC pt3

The third wonderful reason to attend YAC next week is friends! Hopefully by now, you have made some "library friends". These are people you met through the library that you don't go to school with. Maybe you would not have met them if not for the library! Next week is your chance to see them and get caught up on what happened over the summer, how the new school year is going, blah blah blah. And there is always the chance that you will meet some new people and make new library friends.
Remember, the YAC meeting is next Tuesday, September 15, at 6pm.

Rebecca Caudill Club

I just want to let everyone know who missed the last Rebecca Caudill Club that the book that was chosen by the club to read for the October 9th meeting is All the Lovely Bad Ones, by Mary Downing Hahn. She is the author of many other stories, including the Old Willis Place and Deep and Dark and Dangerous. Here is more information about All the Lovely Bad Ones.

You can sign up for the next meeting on October 9th at 7 p.m. starting September 20th. See you there!

Countdown to YAC pt 2

The 2nd reason you should come to YAC next Tuesday, September 15, at 6pm is that it's fun! We eat pizza, as mentioned yesterday, and talk a lot. And while you are having fun you also get to help plan what teens do at the library! Don't miss out!

Countdown to YAC

That's right - only 1 more week until YAC! I will be counting down to YAC all week. Each day I will give 1 reason you should not miss this YAC meeting (like you really need me to convince you!). So, without furhter ado:

Reason #1 you should attend the YAC meeting on 9/15
PIZZA
We will be serving cheese pizza from Aurelio's. The pizza is made fresh and delivered right at the start of the meeting. Each person is allowed 2 squares of pizza and 1 can of pop. There will probably be other snacks available as well. This is really meant as a snack, not your real dinner, but what a snack! Aurelio's pizza is Mrs. Bailey's absolute favorite and Mrs. Lukich and Miss Lowe are pretty fond of it as well. So, if you want some FREE pizza, don't miss out on next week's YAC meeting!
