          • could we hold two lock-ins - the standard Halloween lock-in and then a lock-in only for those teens who participate in Teen Read Week (a super-lock-in)?
        • What about a sleepover???
      • program
        • program hasn't done well here the past couple of years
        • run teen read week without a reading program
          • was thinking of not doing a reading component but giving away prizes for those who post to the Teen Review during that week
          • teens seem to still want the reading portion
        • need incentives - the super lock-in could be an incentive
    • ideas tossed around
      • recycle book art - (2 votes yes)
      • fortune teller or mentalist or hypnotist
      • magician
      • art classes - program by Jen Niles or mixed media art
      • Zumba dance - (no votes)
      • put on a play for the younger kids
        • looking at doing a version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears
        • a two part play Goldilocks at the bears home and the bears in Goldilocks home
        • will work on a script
      • monthly movie
        • depends on the movie - show something new
        • possible show the old time cartoons
        • use movie as a filler for months we can't come up with stuff to do
      • book club
        • want to keep book club
        • option of making book club online or through skype
          • don't want it only online - could we combine in person and online? possibly
  • Dates for Advisory Meeting 
    • request to think about availability for the fall
    • do we keep the Wednesdays at 5:00 - (votes - yes)
    • recruitment is going to be necessary
      • possibly send out a flyer to the schools (upper elementary 5th grade, middle and high school)
  • Teen Newsletter
    • do we still want to publish - yes
    • new layout - making it a single page double sided
      • front side will contain the feature article, new to the shelf, book talk, fun & games, and maybe a bit more if it fits.  The back side will be the list of the events for each season (3 months worth).
        • prefer this to the large library newsletter - we want to find our stuff quickly and not have to look though all the other stuff
    • idea - could we make the fun & games section a challenge so that if you complete it and bring it in you can get a prize?  Could but all the prizes might be a problem financially but we'll look into it.
  • Next Meeting - August 20 @ 5:00
