Welcome Back to School!

Our teens are #1 and we want to wish you a successful 2008-2009 school year! Please let us know how we can help you reach your goals. After a hard day at school, some to the library for some great programs: Club Anime!, Game On!, teen movies, and new this year, The Chatter Box.

Club Anime! is THE CLUB for Anime and Manga fans. Join Ms. Tama for the meetings and watch some really cool Anime and hear all about Manga/graphic novels.

Game On!, our teen online gaming program, will once again be held on Monday afternoons in the computer lab. There will be only one session: 4-5:00 p.m. and space is limited. Ms. Nancy can't wait to share some fast and fun gaming websites and to learn what favorite sites you have found!

Wednesday afternoons from 3:30-4:30 p.m. is the time to join Ms. Donna and your friends in The Chatter Box. In September, the Traveling Pants are returning! Join us and decorate a pair of YOUR pants and then on September 24, you can show off your creatively designed pants for a chance to win an MP3 player. You must show off your creation in person in order to be eligible for the prize.

For all who participated in Summer Reading

Great job! We are proud of our John's Island teen readers. Continue to read through the new school year that will begin shortly. If you ever want great book recommendations, please feel free to see any of the Reference librarians.
