Poetry Slam DEADLINE APPROACHING!!

THE DEADLINE IS APPROACHING FOR POETRY SLAM!!!!

Hey guys, thanks for everyone who has turned in a submission for poetry slam (see below), which will be here at the library on April 28^th, 1 p.m. I haven’t had very many though, and if you want to be eligible for a $40 gift card (30 and 20 for second and third place) at Barnes and Noble, you’ll need to have your submission in by April 21^st at 5 p.m.

Just give us a copy at the library and fill out our short sign up sheet and we’ll be done. Kids and Adults have contests too, so spread the word if you know someone who might be interested.

Again, the reading and voting will be held on the 28^th, where we’ll set up the community room.

Hope to see you there.

Any questions? Email me!

New Books

We've got a number of new books at the Teen Scene recently. I've got most of them on display, so come and check them out!

I've also moved the DVDs, CDs and Games to the right of the desk below the display and Spanish sections. Sorry if that messes any of you up, but I'm hoping it clears room for expanding our graphic novel collection.

Poetry Slam, SRC

Hey, long time no see. We’ve got a lot of stuff in this one.

First off, Poetry Slam for teens is back this year. You’ll have from April 1^st to April 21^st at 5 p.m. to submit your entries. They’ll need to be hard copies turned in at the library. The poetry readings for the teen department will be at the library community room on April 28^th at 2 p.m.. They’ll be both children’s and adult categories for this as well. Call or email me for more info.

Secondly, we’ve got Summer Reading Club coming in June, and both the children’s and teen department are going to need lots of help. If you applied last year, we’d love to see you back, but even if you haven’t, you can still come in and fill out the short form (it requires a parent or guardian’s signature).

Finally, upcoming movie and game night events:

March 22^nd, Click (PG-13)
March 29^th, The Producers (PG)
April 5, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (PG-13)
April 12^th, Steamboy (PG-13)

Important!!

This week's movie, Batman Begins, will be shown in the Children's Storytime room, not the Community room.
