Agenda

  • Online and Print changes  - the advisory board now has a website which used to be the old online newsletter site.  
  • Events for the fall
    • last month we created a list of possible events this month we've tentatively selected a few for the fall schedule.  Please note changes may be made to these.
    • Question: how many teen events do you want planned per month - two
    • Lock-ins will still be held only evey other month so that they don't become boring.
    • it has been requested that a teen book club start and be run every month.  As book club hasn't been popular for the past we will test run it for the fall
      • Miss Renee is looking for suggestions for book club - looking for something that will be appropriate for ages 13+, crossover titles (books that could be ya or j) are acceptable
    • September - TAB only event, book club, and jeopardy/trivia (wii game smarty pants)
    • October - lock-in (halloween), book club
      • Lock in well be held during Teen Read Week (Oct 13-19) that Friday
    • November - book club, and possibly a paid performer (drawing class, mentalist or magician)
    • possiblity of a pre-release party for either Hunger Games 2 movie or Divergent movie - looking in to movie release dates before scheduling.
  • Newsletter
    • newsletter will now be located online in a PDF file.  It can be accessed from the teen's library homepage.  Back issues of the newsletter can be found on the teen random stuff page.
    • Newsletter will still cover three months of events.
