TAB next week

Our Teen Advisory Board meeting for February will be next Thursday, February 6th, at 7PM--we'll plan our March Madness activity, get a jump on the Poetry Night for April (since it's National Poetry Month) and give you an opportunity to plan some things for next summer--any teen between 13-18 who is enrolled in school (or a homeschooler) is welcome to come :)

First SRP workshop and TAB

Just booked our first Summer performer for teen--juggler Todd Key will be joining us on July 2 at 4PM--mark your calendars and come learn how to juggle!  I couldn't find a video of his teen workshop, but if the videos on his website are any indication, we're in for a treat--you can check them out here http://www.toddkeyjuggles.com/video.htm

The timing on TAB just didn't work this time, with the days off of school for weather after already being out for a few weeks--so our next meeting will be Thursday, Feb. 6 at 7PM, and then the same time on the first Thursday through May--so that will be March 6, April 10, and May 8.  At February's meeting will be planning our Library March Madness--you won't want to miss it!

Change in January TAB

In our last TAB meeting, we set the date for our January meeting as Saturday the 11th--but I found out last week that my cousin's baby shower is going to be that day--so, now the meeting is moving to Thursday, January 9th at 7PM.  We'll talk about guests for next summer, since Jeanne and I will be at the Performer's Showcase that morning and also make plans for our Poetry Reading/Slam scheduled for the next Thursday, the 16th.  Remember, all you have to do to join is be a middle or high school student between the ages of 13 and 18--so come and help us get some teen activities planned for 2014!

No TAB this month

Because it's such a busy time of year, we won't be having a Teen Advisory Board meeting in December.  Our next meeting will be Saturday, January 11 at 1--the week before our Poetry Slam on Thursday the 16th.  We'll give Thursday evening meetings a try starting in February--more to come on that later.  Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season (and break from school), and we'll see you in January :)

Fines for Cans and Poetry Slam

This week (November 18th through 23rd), the library will be doing Fines for Cans--for every unexpired can of food you donate, we'll remove $1 off your fines, up to $20.  It doesn't apply to lost or damaged materials, but is a great opportunity to help those in need and knock down (or even pay off) your fines.  Even if you don't have any fines, donations are still welcome, and will help out the Rome-Floyd County Community Kitchen at this busy time of year.

Also, the Teen Advisory Board will be hosting a Poetry Slam on Thursday, January 16th--mark your calendars and get to writing--more details to come!

First NaNoWriMo Thursday tomorrow!

Tomorrow, November 7th, from 4:30 to 6:30, drop by the Children's Theater for our first NaNoWriMo Thursday!  Sometimes the hardest part of writing is finding the time, so we're giving you an hour and a half a week, for the first three weeks of the month (since we're closed on Thanksgiving, and...well, you'll be out of school and will have time to write then anyway ;) ).  You can bring your novel's 'soundtrack' and hole up with your headphones, or ask for input from other writers.  We've only got two outlets in the theater, so if you're bringing a laptop or other device, it might be best to charge it--or you can go out in the Young Adult area at the computer counter, since ours aren't in yet.  The important thing is to find what works for you and let the creativity loose!

TAB on Saturday the 16th

 

Coming......in two weeks
