Notes from the Snack Pack; Teen Advisory Board Ideas

Greetings All,

Here are the notes from the Teen Advisory Board Meeting on September 18th, 2010.

Teen Program Suggestions:

1. Shakespeare Club--discussing and acting short scenes, watching movie versions. I suggested that many of the schools will have drama clubs that might be interested in doing this at the library. I will contact them to see if they can help. This would be a great program for our homeschooling population.

2. Fencing Demonstration--There is a Fencing Club in Penn Manor that might perform

3. Winter Craft Party in December--create stringables like popcorn and paperchains, snowpeople, paper snowflakes, put out cardmaking supplies, have a book-related item gift exchange, cover the tables with butcher paper and the teens can doodle what they want. Finished items can either be taken home or used to decorate the Children's and Teen Spaces.

4. Retro-Video Game Night--proposed by the D&D Club, set up Nintendo, Sega, and Computer Games for an evening of a blast-from-the-past gaming. November 13th 5:30pm to 7:30pm. Yes, folks, another after-hours partay!

Teens who are interested in joining the First Friday Committee please be at the library on the Tuesday after First Friday at 5:45pm. All Teens are welcome to join. If you cannot come to the meetings and still would like to help with the programs--like helping the artists install their work or preparing a craft for the children--please contact Anna Thomas at athomas@lancaster.lib.pa.us or call 396-9313 ext. 273

The next Teen Advisory Board Meeting is on October 16th @ 12noon. Be prepared for yet another exciting treat!

Thanks for snackin'!
