BookCrossing Launches @ Anastasia Island!
Starting the week of October 16-20, 2012
Ever wonder what kind of adventures your library books have been on? Catch a book with the bookcrossing sticker and follow the instructions on the label. Go to www.bookcrossing.com to see where the book has been and make a new journal entry so that other BookCrossers can see where it's traveled to and stay connected with books they've borrowed!
Teen Read Week: Haunted Haikus

It's Teen Read Week! This year's theme: It Came from the Library. Submit your own haunted haiku (illustrations welcome!) between October 14th and October 20th. Submissions will be displayed through Halloween. (Haiku refresher: a poem of three lines, the first made up of five syllables, the second of seven, and the third of five.)
Teen Spooky Shadow Theatre
Tuesday, October 23 @ 5:30 pm
There are a great many scary stories to tell. Some are very old, and they are told around the world. Some are very new, and may very well be true. We'll be turning out the lights, eating popcorn, and sharing tales of ghosts, monstrous creatures, bogey-men, death, and other dangers through shadow puppet theatre. What lurks in the shadows, hides in the darkness, and creeps underfoot? Come find out....if you dare!
D.I.Y. Teen Pumpkin Carving
