With the arrival of October, we are back in full swing with our teen programs. We have kicked off our fall book clubs, but we still have a little space in BookIt (gr 6-8), if you know an interested middle schooler! The Teen Library Leadership Council is preparing for their second Open Mic Night on November 9th and is currently looking for musicians, poets, comics, etc. Their inaugural event last March was a fun-filled evening and we are hopefully that performers will again sign up to share their talents. Check out the crafts we have planned for the end of the month, too. PopUp Art School returns with a Halloween Clay Bobble Heads program on 10/26 and in our Crafternoon this month, we will be making Pumpkin Night Lights, just in time for Halloween.
The first week of October was Banned Books Week. Since 1982, the American Libraries Association has designated this week to promote an awareness of banned and challenged books and to celebrate everyone's freedom to read. This month's newsletter highlights just a few of the many YA books that have been removed from schools and libraries around the country because of challenges. Stop by the Teen Room to pick up a copy of one of these books. Read it and decide for yourself what YOU think!
Hope to see you soon.
