Teen Summer Reading Program

 

2008 Summer Reading Program

Too old for the kid's portion of the SRP?  This summer, Teens will be taking part in the Metamorphosis @ Your Library Game. 

This is your chance to win some GREAT PRIZES -- like CA$H, a gift certificate to Good Buy Books, movie tickets, or an iTunes gift card -- for completing your school-assigned reading, catching up on leisure reading, listening to audiobooks, and/or coming to library programs.  (Everyone wins something!)  Basically, read enough this summer to put Tween & Teen Librarian Chrissie Morrison through a reverse-metamorphosis from Adult to Teen!  Do not miss this opportunity to make Chrissie dress like a Teen for an entire day @ the library. Teens who participate will be allowed to decide on her clothes, hair, AND makeup!  Sign up begins June 26th...  For complete contest rules, come see Chrissie @ your library!

End of Teen SRP "End of the World" Party

with special guest Susan Beth Pfeffer!!!

Thursday, August 14 @ 6pm*

Only Teen SRP participants who have completed the SRP (by reading at least 500 minutes) will be invited to this special event. See Chrissie for more details and/or to find out if you qualify.

 

 

Will Chrissie be Transformed?!?

(If at least 90% of Teens finished SRP, the answer is yes!)

Friday, August 22 @ 10am*

If at least 90% of Teen SRP participants have completed the SRP (by reading at least 500 minutes), Teens will be putting Chrissie through a reverse Metamorphosis - turning her into a Teen for a Day - with wacky clothes, hair, and makeup. If you've completed the Teen SRP, you're welcome to come in and help with the transformation... And then, of course, to gawk and giggle at Chrissie when she has to try and work that way. Pictures will be posted to our website, and Chrissie will remain in her post-metamorphosis state until after the VolunTeen Appreciation Party.

 

 

VolunTeen Appreciation Party:

(for all VolunTeens who worked at least 10 hours)

Friday, August 22 @ 3pm*

Are you a VolunTeen? Did you volunteer for at least 10 hours this summer? If so, you're invited! This year's VTAP will feature ice cream sundaes and raffle prizes just for VolunTeens. See Chrissie for more details and/or to find out if you qualify.

 

 

* These programs will last longer than 1 hour.  Please plan accordingly!
