It wasn’t planned, but now it’s happening Impromptu (sort of) Teen Movie Night! Tomorrow night (Wednesday, May 8) at 6 pm we’ll be watching a hilarious Will Ferrell movie that we’ve actually shown before. You may bring things to snack on if you’d like. Grades 6 and up.
1. Teen Movie Night is tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6 pm (we’ll be going to the SHIRE).
2. There will NOT be MtG BRAWL on Saturday, we’ll be picking starting up again in June.
Have you experienced our new iPads yet?
Every week day from 2:30 pm to 5 pm (ish) we put out our AMAZING SHINY NEW IPADS for you to play with (library use only). And. They. Are. Awesome. They are pre-loaded with creativity based apps that are fun AND VERY LOUD.
Enjoy!
In the spirit of Teen Tech Week, this week’s Teen Movie Night will feature a super awesome animated movie about a video game character who jumps through video games in order to prove he’s not the bad guy he’s made out to be.
Wednesday, March 13 at 6 pm. Be there!
Magic the Gathering BRAWL is today at 1 pm! Gatecrash is released this weekend, so come to the library to try out your new cards!
Was any book MORE perfect for a 24-hour read than Gayle Forman’s new novel, JUST ONE DAY? I will answer my question with an answer: No! JUST ONE DAY is the best book to read in just one day, not only because of the title, or because main characters Allyson and Willem spend one perfect day together in Paris, but because once you start reading it you won’t be able to stop! You’ll want to curl up on your couch with a cafe au lait and read until the final page to find out what happens to Allyson and her sexy Dutch paramour. Don’t believe me? Read the first 9 chapters of JUST ONE DAY here.
JUST ONE DAY comes out on January 8, so be sure to get your copy by Friday. Why? Because we’re going to read JUST ONE DAY in just one day, and you’re invited! From 5:00 PM Eastern on Friday, January 11th till 5:00 PM Eastern on Saturday, January 12th, join the JUST ONE DAY 24-hour read on Twitter. How you can participate:
- Tweet your progress with the hashtag #JustOneDay!
- Follow the #JustOneDay hashtag to see where other people are in the book, squeal with delight, discuss theories, talk about the places Allyson and Willem travel to—whatever you want! Everything is free game!
- Chat with author Gayle Forman using the #JustOneDay hashtag at 7:00 PM on January 12th. Ask her questions about writing and travel, or just beg her for JUST ONE YEAR spoilers (JUST ONE YEAR, Willem’s side of the story, comes out in Fall 2013)!
- Use #JustOneDay to enter to win prizes from @PenguinTeen!
It’s the next best thing to a trip to Paris. :)
Updated post! We’ve added events from all across the country (even one event in Vietnam!) for the anniversary of The Fault in Our Stars! Check below for a live streaming or trivia (or both!) event near you. We will be adding to this list as we receive more details about new events, so check back!
It’s been a year since the publication of Green’s acclaimed The Fault in Our Stars. To mark the anniversary, Green and his brother will be performing at Carnegie Hall—and everyone is invited, via live streaming video! Find an event near your hometown and you won’t have to miss a second of it. Be sure to check your local event, as some are first come first serve (no tickets), and some require reservations.

Register at tumblr.com/meetups/organize and include the phrase ‘John Green Meetup’ in the venue field to receive a special Tumblr Meetup kit, while supplies last. 15 lucky people who sign up for a meetup kit will come with extra goodies, including a signed copy of the exclusive poster above!
