Karen Martin, who works at SEDCO and has a Master’s degree in City Planning, helped the kids think about what buildings they might want in their town. The teens worked in groups, with each group deciding which buildings they would create from all kinds of boxes brought in by the staff at SPL. We had a library (of course!), a huge mall, a nuclear power plant, police and fire station, farm, town hall, church, school, beach, bus – and even the last phone booth in America! At the end of our time together, the kids assembled their town, deciding, with Karen’s help, what buildings went together and how best to layout a community.
Lots of good thinking and great creativity happened!
Karen Martin was very impressed and had a blast with the teens. A big “thank you” to her for sharing her time and knowledge with us.
More great summer Teen Programs are scheduled! Teen Board Games will be happening July 2nd, Let’s Get a Clue, with Detective Ron Nelsen on July 9th, Improv with David LaGraff on July 16th, a showing of the great movie, “Back to the Future” on July 23rd and learning about flight on July 30th with Trent Schreiber from 4-H.
And of course there is the final Teen Party (free book and ice cream! )for all participants in the Summer Reading Program on August 6th!
There is lots going on in the Youth Services Room at Scarborough Public library this summer. Stop by!
Happy reading,
Connie
