Twilight Anyone?
I loved the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer!!! Who doesn't appreciate forbidden love, two prospective lovers to chose from, vampire lore, and teen angst? I think everyone can relate to the teen emotions that Bella goes through: first love, rejection, need for friends, and fear of an unknown future. Also, Bella is a strong role model for girls. She fights for what she wants, accepts responsibility, doesn't want to hurt anyone, and matures as time goes by. This series is an entertaining read for teens and adults alike.
PCL Tween Program!
Tween Program!
The Putnam County Library is pleased to have had such a great response to the Tween Program being offered!The program is for kids between 8 and 12, and is hosted by Sarah, one of the Children's Librarians.During our first meeting, the kids chose a name- Kids Of The P.C.L. We played a few Ice Breaker games, and they ate a TON of Pizza! Everyone had a great time!
During our second meeting, the kids each received a copy of the book we are reading, "Three Cups Of Tea" by Greg Mortenson. We discussed it a little during our third meeting, and everyone seems to love it! If you have not read the book, I suggest reading it- it's a tale of struggle, loss, healing, and triumph over many obstacles. We have a copy in the Adult Section, and the Young Reader's Edition in Children's. Soon, we are going to be holding a bake sale, to raise money to help families in other countries. We are hoping to earn enough to buy several farm animals and medical kits, as well as basic necessities for people who have so little.
October 30th, we will be having a Halloween Party! Food, Games, and Guitar Hero! If you're interested, please come to the Children's Library, and ask for Sarah. Permission slips MUST be filled out in advance. Everyone is more than welcome to wear a costume or pajamas.

A Note from Our Librarian
Hi Library Lovers,
My name is Nelda and I work in the Reference and Adult Services. I have been at the library for several years. I look forward to getting up and coming to work each day. One reason I feel this way is that, everyday, I make at least one person very happy by helping him or her find something that he or she is looking for. Sometimes, this is a certain book. Sometimes, it is information regarding a community event. Sometimes it is an answer to a reference question. Sometimes, just listening for a few minutes because he or she has recently gone through a tragedy helps make that person's day a bit better. I love knowing that I create a little joy in people's lives through my job. Come to the library and bring a friend with you.
