It's time for another Teen "Lock Down"

The next Teen “Lock Down” will take place at the library on Friday, October 18th from 6:00-8:30 p.m.!!  Lock Downs have been really popular with middle school kids.  After the library closes for regular hours, we re-open just for middle school students in grades 6-8.  


We’ll have snacks,
a scavenger hunt, book dominoes,


 duct tape crafts, 


karaoke, 


wii games,  


and, since it s getting close to Halloween, a costume contest for those who want to come in costume.  (You don’t have to wear a costume.)





Do you think we can beat this world record book domino?
 


You do have to pre-register to attend. So call the Youth Services Room (883-4723 option 3). We have to have a minimum of 25 kids to have the Lock Down, so grab your friends and pre-register soon!


See you there,
Connie

Here is a way to hang onto summer just a bit longer: read a summer romance!



One typo is all it takes.


When teenage heart-throb movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town girl Ellie O'Neill an email about his pet pig, Wilbur, she decides to reply, never expecting that their online conversation will blossom into a romance. The two discuss everything under the sun, except for their names and backgrounds. Then Graham finds out that Ellie's Maine hometown, Henley, is the perfect location for his latest film, and he decides to take their relationship from online to in-person. But can a star as famous as Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media's spotlight at all costs?  What secret is she and her mother hiding?

Taking place over the course of just one summer, This is What Happy Looks Like is a mix of celebrity glitz and small town Maine coziness…and a feel-good way to hang onto summer just a bit longer.

If fate sent you an email, would you answer?

Happy reading,
Connie
