We had a great time on Saturday meeting with Debbie DeShields for out writers' workshop, and then our TAB and teen book club meetings. We will be starting a traditional YA book club that will meet once a month beginning in January. We have been previously been meeting to discuss whatever we are reading, but now we will have an 'official' list, so that everyone will read the same book, and we will meet to discuss this.
We are still working on compiling out list of the books that we will be reading, but it watch for it to be posted on the blog very soon!
Next month, on December 8th, we will have another full day for the teens at the library. First, we the Young Adult Writers' Workshop will meet from 10:30 - 11:30. We have such a great group of kids meeting for this workshop! Be sure to come join us to learn so much about the writing and publishing process.
After the workshop, we will have a short meeting to work some more on compiling our list for the Young Adult Book Club. Bring your suggestions, and we will provide the pizza!(:
Lastly, on Saturday, we will have a fun activity called 'Cozy Up with a Good Book'. From 1-2pm we will have a group of kids from Cooper Elementary School come to the library to enjoy some hot chocolate and good books. The teens will be able to choose wintry children's books to read to the kids. If you are interested in helping us read to the kids, contact library director Joni Stine at 855-1753. This will be followed by a short meeting of the Teen Advisory Board, so if you are interested in joining TAB, feel free to stay and join us for that.
If you have any questions about the activities on this busy day, be sure to contact me at bvplteens@gmail.com. Can't wait to see you at the library!
