Two teens chill out after school in the Teen Zone...

Last thursday after school, two guys were thrilled to watch a DVD on the new Listening and Viewing Station in the Teen Zone at MGPL. Stop in and give it a try for yourself. You may bring your own headphones or borrow them from the Reference Desk. As you can see in the photo, two can listen at once!

Read, Eat, And Discuss recommends The House of the Scorpion!

At the November 2 meeting of Read, Eat, and Discuss Teen Book Club we discussed The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer. The group voted four out of four stars to this futuristic, science fiction, coming of age, good verses evil, page-turning title! There were many aspects to the book that we thought would make an excellent movie!

Post a comment here if you have read the title and have thoughts to share.

Please join us at the next meeting Thursday, December 7 @ 7pm. We will be discussing The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray by Chris Wooding.

If you would like to know upcoming dates and titles for future planning...
