December Programs Shine for Teens!

We have 3 exciting programs scheduled for December to fit every teen need!

December 2nd is the next Teen Game Night event. Each month, two giant screens and large Boomchairs are available in the Community Room for ages 13-18 to have fun gaming. The Library owns Nintendo Wii, XBOX360, and Playstation 3 along with a variety of different games, or teens may bring in their own games to share. Pizza and pop are available each time for all who participate. Since the new Library has opened in October 2010, we have averaged 15 teens at each gaming event. A true success!

December 17th we will host a Card Stamping program. For those that like to scrapbook, this is a perfect way to get creative and make fun holiday cards to send to friends and family. Our staff expert, Monique Flasch, will be on hand to show teens different stamping techniques and various ways to showcase talent with card stamping. All materials will be provided.

Only two short days later we will have our annual Cookies in a Jar program! December 19th teens will be able to make two cookies in a jar---oatmeal and MandM---to bring home to use either as a gift, or for themselves. Instruction tags as well as all ingredients and embellishments will be provided. This has become very popular over the past two years and will hopefully follow the trend this year as well! Pick a holiday-inspired jar topper and ribbon to finish off the look.

Registration is now in progress! Don't miss out on the fun, register today!
