Crafting @ the Library

More than 30 teens created amazing art at the U-Pick Craft Days in May. They made rubberband balls & jewelry--and jumped rope with a jumprope made from rubberbands. Then they made a 40+ foot long rope made of rubberbands that stretched around the library! Teens also made sunprint art, tie dye t-shirts, & duct tape hats, hoola skirts, boxes, & wallets:

Peeps Visit the Library!

Mostly, it was a great visit. They read, they played, and then they studied an atlas to plan their next trip. But some of the teens were getting hungry.....

Teens @ the Library

At the 'Make It Hot' program teens made their own salsa, tasted 10 varieties & picked their favorites (Spike's), made and baked pretzels (check out the designs--the owl and heart turned out very well--and made felt scarves. They made cupcakes and played games, including 'Survive Jeopardy and Fell Like a Millionaire at the 'To 2010 & Beyond' program. Cupcakes were a favorite of the decade, along with deep fried Twinkies, which they also made.

Volunteer teens helped make the 'Games Galore, Chess & More', a program for younger children, a great success. They taught beginners how to play chess and and helped children learn and play other games, too, including Twister, Uno, Junga, & checkers.

We will be having a games program and a lego program for younger children every month. If you want to volunteer, just see Linda or any staff member.
