you love books and they love you.

An informal discussion/snacking hour all y'all who love to read!

TOMORROW!
Wednesday, October 1, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
in the Second Floor Conference Room.

There is no required reading for this! It's not really a book club. Instead, we'll discuss and recommend (or not) whatever we've been reading lately, decide on our favorite books and characters, and just hang out. If you like it, we'll make it a regular event. No registration is required. Contact me at 248-650-5683 or on this blog with any questions.

new graphic novels!!

i bet you didn't know that your hard-working teen librarian updates the website every time new graphic novels show up at the library. go here to see what's new, if it's in, or put a hold on it if it's checked out.

D&D tomorrow!!


tomorrow is the first of our fall dungeons & dragons days! 6pm in the 2nd floor conference room. we've got the room until 9 if you want to play that long...i think i have the stamina...

don't worry if you're inexperienced...someone (not me. but someone.) can help you make a character and learn to play.

if you've played here before, you can use your old character, if you want.

as usual, a variety of tantalizing snacks will be served.

what's this all about?

Hello my chums. This blog is for announcements and reminders about teen programs, book reviews, new books, or just stuff that I think you should know. We will also put the zine up here so you can see it digitally if you don't get a print copy-- look for that soon.

If you have a handy dandy RSS feed, you can add this using the link on the right, which will save you the trouble of checking every hour to see if I updated.

Feel free to comment/suggest/contribute.

Your faithful servant,

Kricket
