Summer plans, Teens?

Submitted by Jim Johnson on Wed, 05/12/2010 - 12:11pm

Hey, teens, what are you up to this summer?  If you haven't figured that out yet, come up to the Hideout and take a look at what we've got going on!  Ms. Sunni has got a bunch of special programs and activities lined up, and we've put the info all in one place.  If you're the type who likes to plan ahead, or if you just want to be surprised to find out that the library can actually be a cool place to be, come up and grab a Texas Teens Read program flyer to see what's happening during the next several months!

Hey, teens, in case you haven't heard, we've carved out a space just for you in the new library building.  It's called "The Hideout," and that's just what it's meant to be!  We've got everything from your favorite authors to your favorite series titles, not to mention graphic novels, study areas, teen computer stations, and even a room for videogaming!  Ms. Sunni has lined up a bunch of programs and activities for you also on weekday afternoons, including the Know-It-Alls book club for LoneStar books on the first and third Mondays of the month, The Lady and Her Green Knights Chess Club every Tuesday, and a free-style Lego building activity on Thursdays.  So, get up here as soon as you can!  There's way too much fun to be had up here!
