PICTURE THIS @ your library

Teen read week is coming October 16-22 and it's all about images.  Whether you enjoy reading comics, graphic novels or that huge novel by your bed, libraries are celebrating in pictures.  The Auburn Library is asking that if you have a favorite picture of you reading - send us a copy and we'll post it on our media wall.  If you like you can also participate in our Book Poster Contest.  Tell everyone whey they should read your favorite book.  Contest details can be picked up at the library or on the website.  So break out those graphic novels, find your favorite movie based on a book and get your read on.

A Message from the Furniture

By Jeanelle W.

Hi there!  I'm Otto the Ottoman and wow do I have something to tell YOU!  For years I was locked up in the Auburn Public Library's garage, when all of a sudden...whoosh...I was dragged outside and tossed into a dumpster.  Me, Otto, trash??  But luckily, I was rescued - rescued from the depths of the dumpster by my dumpster-diving hero, Miss Renee, the youth services librarian!  After being pampered with a thorough cleaning solution scrub-down (massage-style, of course), I am now a proud part of the new furniture in the young adult section of the Auburn Library!  Now I really hope you'll come visit me.  All those years in the garage were lonely and now I get to see people and books and...it's all so exciting! So please come on down.  I am your chair, I am your table and I am your footrest.  So grab a book, put your feet up (on me!) and get comfortable at the Auburn Library!

Book Talk

Uglies

by Scott Westerfeld

Scott Westerfeld creates a futuristic world in his novel The Uglies, where everyone gets cosmetic surgery at age 16 to become a standardized version of "pretty."  The ones that don't buy into the conformity make Uglies startlingly thought-provoking, raising questions for our present society and for ourselves.

COMFY FURNITURE

Have you ever sat in the young adult section and wished there was something more comfortable to sit in.  Tired of the old table and chairs that were offered.  Well be despondant no more.  The library has updated the seating in the young adult area. Yes there is still a table and the straight chairs for homework, but there are also two much more comfortable chairs to sit in plus an ottoman that can be used as another seat, for your books or even your feet.  So make sure you stop by, sit down and take a load off.  Changes are coming and chairs are hopefully only the beginning.
