Read It, Make It, Do It @ the Library

And we’ve planned some great programming for you this summer.
We kick everything off on June 26th with Not a Box at the Harbor Pavilion. Get creative and think inside the box in this crafty program. Doors will open at 6:30 pm, program will start at 7pm. This will also be your first chance to [...]

Coming soon

Next up we have a special movie night.
A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines is the Westchester Libraries’ Big Read for this year, and we’ll be showing the movie after a brief discussion of the book.
If that isn’t really your style, we’ve got some other stuff coming up in the next few months.
On March [...]

Game On

Rather than having a movie this month, we’re experimenting with our first ever game night. Are you ready for the challenge?
We’ll have a variety of games, with our usual array of fabulous prizes, along with door prizes and refreshments. As usual, the doors will open at 6:30 pm and the program will start at [...]

Summer programs & future movie nights

(copied from the publicity information I sent out earlier in the week)
We’ve got one last spring Teen Movie Night coming up before our summer schedule of events begins. On June 6th we’ll be showing the movie August Rush in which a teen musical prodigy uses his gift to find his birth parents. As usual, our [...]

Long time, no speak

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Sorry about that. The books are evil and I periodically get buried.
But you’ll be seeing a few posts today. This one (of course), one about forthcoming programming including the next few movies, and I’m going to start blogging about books. New books, old books. Whatever I’ve [...]

I know it’s been a while, but…

I’ve been rather busy. Some of you might have seen me when I visited your class at the Hommocks. I’ve visited about 30 classes ranging in age from Kindergarteners to Eight Graders over the past two weeks.
I also spent a weekend at the big conference for publishers and booksellers and anyone else who [...]

Harbor Street Fair

Sunday is the Historic Harbor Street Fair. We’ll have a flier with a list of all the teen programs this summer and a new bookmark with five new book recommendations on the back.
If the heat starts to get to you, come by the library between 1-4 pm and help make some bookmarks to sell [...]

Quick reminder

The last Weird Tales is today at 6:30pm. We’ll just have to hope that we don’t actually get a tornado.
During the summer we’ll be offering other programs for teens, and we’ll start up a more general Teen Critics group again in the fall.

Act It Out

Come into the library on May 2nd any time between 6:00 and 7:30 pm for a fun night of charades, pictionary and other acting games and activities.
Do you have any ideas for drop-in programs? Let us know in the comments.

Pick-a-Flick

We’re looking into video programs at the library and we want your input.
Reply in the comments with your suggestions for movies, tv shows, anime, etc.
Next week there will be a poll for you to vote on some of the movies selected after we have checked for availability.
Remember that we will not be able to show [...]
