What is Teen Advisory? It's a way for you to connect with the library and make your voice heard. It's a chance to see your ideas and opinions come to life. It's an easy way to earn volunteer credit by attending monthly meetings. Join us to meet some new people, eat snacks, and help us make our Teen Room (and library) THE BEST!

Combine STEM skills with a fun craft - we’re making LED paper circuits! Master the simple, series, and parallel circuit and then let your imagination be your guide.

SCARY STORIES IN THE CEMETERY
MONDAY, OCTOBER 24TH, 6:30-7:15 PM
MOUNTAIN VIEW CEMETERY
GRADES 5-12
Imagine - a quiet, moonless night, dark shapes of bare trees, a lone figure in black beckoning you to follow her into the cemetery. Time for scary stories! We'll meet at the Artemas Ward gate (behind the First Congregational Church) and walk amongst the graves, then settle in for some chilling tales in the dark. We'll bring cider and cookies, you bring a blanket to sit on.
Registration required.
