Teen Open House!

Hello Everyone!

As many of you already know, this Wed is our upcoming Teen Open House. We have many exciting events and hope to have quite a few teens attend this onetime event. The current listing of events is on display throughout the library and one flyer is currently hanging on the whiteboard.
1.) Patti has typed up a document that provides extensive information about the program. Patti has also made a map so that you’ll know where all the programs will be held. I encourage you to take the time to read these notes. Our circulation and reference area(S) staff are on the front lines and many of our program questions get routed to you! We don’t want to leave you without information to help answer these questions. Thank you for always taking the time to promote our programs, answer those questions, assist with program set-up/take down, and still smile at us programmers when everything is done. J We couldn’t do it without you!
2.) You may have noticed that there are signs “warning” patrons that Wed. will probably be a bit noisy. We’re hoping to fill this library with noise! We have in the past had other programs out in the library, ranging from music, presentations, storytime, etc. Unfortunately, our library meeting room sometimes is double-booked or cannot hold the anticipated number of patrons due to fire code. In this case though, please remember that the Teen Open House is a one time event – we’ll never have another opportunity to celebrate the launch of this new section. Also, please remember how much our teens do for this library and community. Not only do we have over 60+ teens help during summer reading and the used book sales, we have teens that help at various community events from EXPO to the Township Halloween Party. Kitty’s YACs have been helping in the community for years. This teen section and open house not only provides teens with their own much needed space but also celebrates and thanks them for their community involvement.
3.) Please take a few minutes to seek out Alex, Heather, Kitty, or Patti with your questions regarding this event. We’ll also make the effort to approach you so that we can make sure you’re questions are answered. We will post questions and answers to the blog.
Thanks again!
