 The Library Teen Board
The first thing we did was to redecorate one of the vault rooms into a fun teen room. Donations, and the money that we raised from selling candles, helped to buy furniture, lamps, and pictures. Brad Bruner donated his time to build a wall in between the two vaults and Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Elings donated mirrors to set on the new wall.
It makes a great place to relax. There are comfy couches and chairs with pillows and a TV with a DVD player is nice when you’re done reading.
If you would like to come check it out, you must be in the grades 6-12 and have a library card free of fines or over dues.
We are now planning an open house to let the public meet us and see some of the new books. This is planned for the fall.
The library also has quite a few new teen books. By popular request, Stephanie Meyer books are now available. Lisi Harrison’s “The Clique Summer Collectors” series for girls is also in.
Rick Riordon fans will be happy to know that his new book, “The Battle of the Labyrinth” is out, along with the fourth book in the Maximum Ride Series by James Patterson.
I like a lot of the books in the teen section, especially some of the older ones. The first book I like is actually a series. It is called the Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. I like this series because of the adventures the kids have and I like how Violet, the oldest, and Klause, the middle, use their brains to solve hard problems that are very important.
Another book I like is called “The Girl Who Owned a City” by O.T. Nelson. In this book a plague comes all across the world, killing everyone who is 12 years or older. Lisa, who is 10 years old, has to use her brain to outsmart the older kids trying to take over. She also has to unite her neighborhood together. She eventually teaches herself how to drive and cook. In the end she brings her neighborhood into the old high school and they are able to stop the other kids.
