We Need YOU!

Hi Everyone!

It's that time of year again... We need teen volunteers for our Summer Reading Program!  This year's theme is "Power Up...Read!" which means (drum roll please!)... SUPERHEROES!  We're obviously SUPER excited about it (yeah, I had to) and are looking for some really cool teens to help us out.

So... Are you interested in helping out at the library while earning volunteer credit?  Stop by the library to pick up your very own application packet!  In that packet, you'll find an introduction to being a teen volunteer, an application, and a volunteer agreement form.  When the application and volunteer agreement form are completed, please turn them in at the service desk.  The next step will be scheduling an interview (don't worry - it's SUPER easy!) and figuring out your schedule.  If I'm here when you turn all of that in, we can do the interview right then and there so you won't need to stop back in.

If you have any questions at all, please leave a comment below or stop on over!  I look forward to meeting some great volunteers this year!

Program Update: May 2013

Hi Everyone!
We FINALLY have some really great regularly-scheduled programs that I'd like to introduce you to...
STAB Meeting - 1st Saturday of the month @ 10:30am.  Join the Sharonville Teen Advisory Board (known fondly as STAB) to discuss books, plan teen programs, and share your ideas (all while earning volunteer credit!).  We're always open to new members, so stop in and check it out.
Teen Movie Night - 3rd Wednesday of the month @ 6:00pm.  I've been taking requests for ideas at each movie night!  We've been watching some excellent animated flicks (Despicable Me, Wreck-It Ralph...), but if you have any suggestions for upcoming movie night movies, leave a comment below or leave me a comment in the library.  I'll see you all on Wednesday, May 15th at 6:00pm for a showing of "The Incredibles!"
Minute to Win It (Teen Challenge) - 3rd Saturday of the month @ 3:00pm.  This is going to be epic!  Compete in a series of 60-second challenges and see if you have what it takes to beat the competition and win fun prizes!  With dozens of challenges available, you never know which ones you'll get.  Stop by and give it a try on Saturday, May 18th!
Crafty Teens - 4th Wednesday of the month @ 7:00pm.  Stop by every month to get crafty with a wide variety of materials.  We've had clothing decorating, magnet making, and are looking forward to duct tape crafts on Wednesday, May 22nd!
As always, let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions!!!
