Lock-ins, trips to the movies, crafts, Halloween parties, angry bird events - have you ever wondered how the library comes up with these program ideas? Many of these programs come from kids just like you. The Teen Advisory Board works with the Youth Services Librarian, Miss Renee, to create a variety of events for you. Sometimes Miss Renee suggests the ideas and the Board members give their opinion and sometimes they give their ideas to Miss Renee and she tells whether an event will work. Do you have some great ideas? Come to a Teen Advisory Board meeting and find out what it's all about and share your ideas there. Meetings are held at 6:00 pm every 4th Tuesday of each month. Please come and join us.
Falconer Julie Ann Collier will be visiting with her feathered friends to teach teens about the Medieval sport of falconry. Thought to be the sport of kings, this partnership between bird and man has fascinated many throughout history. Ms. Collier will bring some of her birds to demonstrate the characteristics of these particular hunting birds. She will also discuss the lifestyle behind falconry and the sport's ultimate decline. It's a fascinating look at history and at a relationship that is generally wary by nature. You don't want to miss this event! Please note that this event is sponsored by the Auburn Cultural Council and is a one time only event coming February 20. Don't forget to tell your friends.
