Teen Activites at Southside

The weather may be cooling off but things are heating up for teens at the Southside Library. Every Thursday after school, from 4-5 PM there is something for teens--aged 13-18 --to do.

The teen book club meets the first and third Thursdays of each month at 4 PM. This week, Thursday, August 30, teens can get together for pizza and a discussion of Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Next week, September 6, the book club will meet again to discuss Kathryn Lasky’s first book in the Guardians of Ga’Hoole Series: The Capture. You don’t have to sign up in advance but do try to read the book before the meeting so you can join in the discussion.

On the second and fourth Thursdays the Teen Advisory Board meets. Teens have to apply for the Board; applications are available at the library. Several positions for teens are open currently. The TAB is planning activities for teens and helping the library to better serve teens in all kinds of ways. The first TAB sponsored event for teens will be “Talk Like a Pirate Day” featuring pirate games, refreshments, and making pirate flags. This will take place September 19 from 4-5:30 PM. Brush up on your pirate speech and come in pirate costume!
