September Schedule
Hello you loyal library friends!
Game Night (ages 13-18) is once again this Thursday from 6-8 p.m.
I want to take this opportunity to speak on the various activities the RPL Teen Department is doing this September:
On September 1st, we have our first Tuesday Teen Book Group. It is from 5-6 p.m. in the Community Room and is for grades 6-12. If anyone has to be a little late, that’s ok!
We’ll be discussing the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It’s a book about a post-apocalyptic world where a tyrannical government makes the various districts of Panem send two teens a piece to go fight for their lives in a futuristic bio dome while being broadcast across the nation. The reader follows the events through the eyes of Katniss, a girl from a poor district who volunteers to replace her sister. It’s action packed, but also has a number of issues that can be raised for discussion, from freedom to the meaning of reality TV.
Stephenie Meyer, the author of Twilight series, had this to say about the book on her blog a few months back.
"People often ask me for reading suggestions, and I'm always happy to share because books are exciting things to me. My latest excitement is this: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I was so obsessed with this book I had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so I wouldn't have to stop reading. The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it. I've been recommending it to total strangers in Target. And now to everyone who reads my website. The Hunger Games is amazing." –Meyer
If you have already read the Hunger Games, you may know that a sequel is coming out, to be released on September 2nd (i.e. the day after our group) maybe now would be a good time to go through the book again? And we will definitely be talking about what could be happening in the sequel.
Finally, if you just don’t like the book, then come and have some refreshments, and suggest something for us to do next month!!
Teen Coffee House
