What days for programs work best for you?

Hi Everyone,  :)

I am having trouble when is  the best  day and time to run teen programs at the library. For October, Mondays seemed  to work.  But for November, Mondays don't work. If you could please leave a comment and to let me know the dates and times that are best for you or email me at daley@lincoln.library.on.ca.

Also let me know what programs you would like to see run at the library. I would really appreciate any suggestions. You can even call me with your suggestions at 905-563-7014 ext. 210.

 

Thanks

Halloween is in 3 more days!!!! What are you going to be????

 

 I decided this year I will be a pirate. I have my dress. Yep, I will be wearing a dress and pirate boots.  So you better watch out if you bring back late books I will make you walk the plank! Just joking... or am I????

 

 

We just wrapped up our Undead Club. Sorry I don't have pics cause I always forget to take pics. It's so sad. We had ghost stories and looked at the different types of ghosts and hauntings. We held an  old fashioned Halloween party with bobbing for apples and pumpkin carving, it was a lot of fun. Then we had a zombie preparedness program. We made bloody t-shirts,  fake wounds and blood to disguise ourselves as Zombies and more.  Thanks to all the teens that participated. Have a great Halloween!

 

 

Get lots of candy! Trick or Treat!
