This group will be meeting to help me select
material for the YA collection at SC library as well as
helping me plan events. Right now, I'm envisioning one
event per month. Some ideas for upcoming events include
Harry Potter discussion, origami lesson, manga drawing, and
game/movie night.
If you have some ideas for programs you'd like to see,
feel free to e-mail me and let me know at jkelley@lapl.org
your world a little? Need to grab some
volunteer hours? Then please join the new Studio City
Library Teen Council. Members get to help choose new books
and videos for the library; assist with programs and
displays; write reviews to share with other LA teens; and
eat pizza! Call or stop by and pick up an application
today!
If you are at least 14 years old and haven't yet graduated
from high school, please think about us if you need to
complete community service work (for school or scholarship).
Come to the reference desk--we'll give you an application
(to be completed by you and your guardian), and we'll put
you to work up to two times a week, in 2-hour stints.
You'll have to commit to 30 hours, and then I'll write a
letter you can use for credit. Some of the things you'll do
for us are shelving, straightening, processing new books,
and getting this place in ship-shape!
GENRE CORNER
