Notes from the Snack Pack; Teen Advisory Board Ideas
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
The next Teen Advisory Board Meeting is on October 16th @ 12noon. Be prepared for yet another exciting treat!
Thanks for snackin'!
