We have winners!

Five lucky teens and their Valentines won a bag of gifts that will make Valentine's Day even sweeter! They completed the Name That Candy quiz in the teen room of the library to enter the prize drawing.

Twenty seven teens spent yesterday afternoon at Plugged and Unplugged, our after school program. Specially fun because there was no school yesterday, it was a good time to spend with friends playing games and talking and snacking! Don't miss it next Wednesday, 2-5 pm in the large meeting room.

Next Tuesday, February 19, will be the Teen Writers Club next meeting at 4-5 pm in the small meeting room. If you love to write already or would like to improve your writing skills, this is the club for you. Chase Will leads us in writing exercises and gives us encouragement by sharing his readings and experience.

Check out the new books in the Teen Room at the library!
