A couple dozen teens took over the Young Adult room last Friday for our Twilight Release Party. We started with a Twilight Trivia game, Jeopardy-style. Then we had a book discussion -- and boy were there a lot of opinions! -- and finished with a live readers theater presentation of a teen-authored Twilight/Harry Potter hybrid story that was great fun. One person even brought her copy of the movie soundtrack.
Between munching on snacks (including apples in homage to the cover art) the teens shared their opinions on the book and what they hoped the movie would include. The party broke up before closing, only to meet together again at the movies that night. (For those of you who haven't seen it yet, the movie sticks to the book pretty well. Don't worry, I won't spoil it.)
If you had a great time at our Twilight party (or if you missed it and don't want to miss out on any other fun times), you might want to join our new Teen Book Club. Our first meeting is Saturday, Dec. 13, at 3 p.m. It's an informational meeting, which means there's no book to read this time -- and you can help pick what books you want to read for future meetings. (New Moon, anyone?) We'll have more details on our YA page as they're available.
OR, join YAAC, our Young Adult Advisory Council, and figure out what fun event we should offer next! See the YA page for details. See you at the library!
