agenda

  • Holiday event for TAB? Yes, keep it simple - pizza, popcorn, drinks
  • Events
    • November: reminder of photo show, deadline for submissions is Friday at 4pm
    • December: Lock-In - ideas for the event: character guessing game, unwrap presents with gloves, snowman hunt, of course illuminator
    • January: photo scavenger hunt scheduled. Similar to a scavenger hunt except you have a list of odd items and you have to photograph the answer.
    • February: tentatively scheduled - Lockin and D.I.Y. (do it yourself) Craft event: this will be a collection of crafts/activities such as duck tape art, bracelets/keychains, rainbow/crazy loom, and more.
    • Suggestion of doing a rainbow/crazy loom event - possible but would have to be a bring your own loom event.
    • Discussion of going to the movies (nonlibrary event) just everyone going together.  The Book Thief (PG-13) was suggested for Friday, November 29.  Everyone pays their own way.  If you are interested and want to go let Miss Renee know by Monday (11/25) at the latest and she'll pass it along.
  • Newsletter
    • still looking for feature articles or book recommendations.
    • reminder that the library is now on social media (tumblr, twitter, facebook and pinterest)
  • Books for Book Club
    • suggestions for book club - pick from the recommended pile
    • votes: 3-The Bar Code Tattoo     2-The Pledge      1- The Search for WondLa     1-No Passengers Beyond This Point     1-The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks
    • Results: Bar Code Tattoo for December and the Pledge for January
  • Pinterest - Teen Corner
    • Not really a social site more of an organizing site
    • Library uses it for book lists.
    • Looking to create a teen section beyond the Teen Book List
    • Teens can create their own read list to share their reading.  Don't have to join Pinterest to do that, just send a list to Miss Renee and she'll create and post it on the library site.  List should have a minimum of 8 books (graphic appeal)
  • Next meeting - December 18 @ 5:00
