Welcome!
Thanks for visiting the Messenger Public Library's Teen Blog. This is the spot where we'll tell you all about library programs, awesome new reads, and other stuff we think you'd like to know. This is also the place where YOU tell US what you're reading, what you'd like to see added to the library's collection, what programs you'd like to have at the library, what you think about life in general...... so get commenting, already!
Only 2 More Weeks Left!
July 19, 2008 — messengerlibraryteensThe last two programs of the summer are coming up–have you signed up yet??
For grades 6-9, we have a Duct Tape craft program on Wednesday, July 30th from 7-8 p.m. We’ll have lots of different colors of tape, which you can transform into a wallet, a bookmark, or something of your own design! Register at the Youth Services Desk or by phone.
Everyone is invited to our Summer Reading Program closing event, which will be on Friday, August 1st at 2 p.m. Dave Rudolph will be performing, so grab a seat on the lawn and help us close out the Summer Reading Program with singing, dancing, and lots of craziness!
And for our AWESOME volunteers, please make sure that you’ve RSVP’d to the Volunteer Thank You Party, which will be happening on Friday, August 1st from 12-1 p.m. We’ve got a great lunch planned, as our way of saying thanks for all of your hard work this summer. We couldn’t have a Summer Reading Program without our volunteers!
Don’t forget that you can still turn in your Summer Reading logs and collect more prizes (or raffle tickets for the bonus levels!) for the time you spend reading. We’ll be accepting logs until August 1st, so stop by the Youth Services Department today 
Upcoming Events
April 29, 2008 — messengerlibraryteensThe school year is winding down and everyone is starting to think about summer vacation (just a few more weeks!). We’ve got some fun events coming up at the library, so mark your calendars
This Saturday, May 3rd, from 2 to 4 p.m. Messenger Public Library will be hosting a Comicon event. We will have special guests Bill and Linda Reinhold, artists who have worked on a number of different comic books and create their own fantastic pieces. Check out Bill Reinhold’s site at http://hometown.aol.com/hedrawscomics/myhomepage/business.html New this year is the comic book and graphic novel swap–bring in a gently used comic or graphic novel and swap it for something “new!” We will also have some fun activities, like Create Your Own Superhero, and a sampling of the Messenger Public Library’s graphic novel collection. Stop in and help us celebrate Free Comic Book Day!
Also coming up is the Summer Reading Program. Our theme this year is Get in the Game: READ! Starting May 30th you can pick up a Reading Log and start keeping track of the minutes that you read each day. When you reach the end of a level, bring your log back into the library for a cool prize! You can also pick up a copy of the Summer Program Guide and check out all of the special summer programs.
