Summer @ the Library
Summer reading started today, June 4! Win prizes for reading! We have drawings for prizes every week and grand prize drawings at the end of July! Put in an entry for every 100 pages you read, for every magazine, and for every audiobook. E-readers count, of course! You can enter with a paper entry or online at www.lcplin.org Click on on summer reading, 'Teens'. You can also review books for the LCPL blog. Ask @ the library. Just a sentence or two about a book is all it takes.
Think about volunteering, too. We need volunteers at the 'prize table' where we keep track of the number of books kids read and help them play the game for prizes. We also need help at programs. Just come into the library to sign up. And...if you volunteer 100 hours you will earn a library gold card--a beautiful card that means you don't have to ever again pay overdue fines. We have lots of teen gold card volunteers--because volunteering @ the library is fun!
So read, win, & volunteer this summer!!

Recycling into Poetry
Teens turned old magazines into poetry.
They also created 'repurposed book poems' by taking old books, picking a page with words they liked and circling those words while crossing out others. The result? A repurposed book poem:
Eliminate difficulties.
Beautiful considered.
Figure identified.
Toughest pleased.
Arrived.
Gift.
The Games..Live...& More
Check out pictures from programs in April.
Teens recycled a variety of materials to create something useful:
Teens made bows & arrows, challenged each other in the Conucopia, Fear Factor & Trivia Games, made their own delicacies at 'Peeta's Bakery', including yummy goat cheese & apple tarts & more as they survived the first library Hunger Games.
