May the Fourth Be With You - On the First!

We are inviting all aspiring Jedi to join us next week on May 1st from 4 PM - 8 PM for games, crafts, and a movie. Young padawans will have an opportunity to build a miniature sensory lightsaber. We’ll also have Jedi Training Games & Exercises for attendees to test their skills.

Attempt to save Rey from Kylo Ren with a “force field”, build a spacecraft and try to pilot your way into the Death Star or find out just how good your eye sight is with our Blaster Practice.

The games and crafts end at 5:15, when you’ll want to grab a spot on the floor as we watch Rey’s desire to learn the ways of the Jedi force Luke to make a decision that will change their lives forever.

Do you have a teenager about to enter the dreaded world of dating?  How do you keep them safe?  This Tuesday, April 24 at 7 PM, Barbara McInnis, a Victim Liason with Harris County Constable Precinct 5, will be at the Maud Marks Library to talk about teen dating violence.  Learn why teens can get violent while on a date, what signs to watch for to catch if your child is in a violent relationship, steps to prevent teen violence, and what to do if it happens to your child.  Click here for more information and  to register.

 Need help researching your paper? Don't know how to get started? Stuck on that math or science problem? We can help!  The Katy Library is offering a weekly Homework Help session, Wednesday nights, at 5:00pm. Help will be available for basic homework issues and questions. We can also help go over your child's homework with them. These sessions are intended to assist children and teens with homework questions. If we don't know the answer, we will try our best to find it!

Join us on Thursday, September 14, 2017 from 4:30 pm-5:30 pm for a fun and cool teen craft!  Teens will give a plain light switch cover a glittery makeover to add glitz and sparkle to their room!  All materials will be provided courtesy of the Friends of the South Houston Library.  Program is recommended for children ages 10-17 years of age.  For more information please contact the branch at 832-927-5530.
