Teens and Tweens are invited to an evening of Cake-Pop Creations (POPS) and Wii Rock Band (ROCKS).
Cake-pops are bite-sized bits of cake atop a standard lollipop stick. The pops are dipped in melted chocolate, then decorated with assorted sprinkles, jimmies, frosting and more. You are free to eat your creations at the library or bring them home to share with your family.
While at the library, you can pick up one our our two Wii guitars, sit down at the drums or try your hand with the vocals as we play Wii Rock Band (at least two different editions will be available to try).
This is a free event, drop-ins welcome for some or all of the time. No registration necessary.
Students entering grades 6-12 read books to earn prizes. You can register online and log all your reading right from the comfort of your own home (or the local coffee shop or wherever you get connected to the internet). After you read a book, just write a brief (very short, almost miniscule) book review. Each review is an automatic ticket entry into our weekly raffle and counts toward your reading goals.
The only time you need to visit the library is to collect prizes, find new books to read or come to any of our summer events.
