1st two photos are from Reading for Root Beer, a new program on the 4th Wednesday of the month where students can talk about what they are reading and enjoy root beer floats!
2nd two photos are from Miss Benita’s Annual Tea. Everyone enjoyed an assortment of tea and treats in a beautiful setting.
Last two photos are from Inauguration Day. Patrons were able to watch news coverage in the meeting room and enjoy cookies brought in by our volunteer, Miss Marsha.
Join us this afternoon (TUESDAY, September 16) for Teen Café. The annual ACPL Poetry Contest begins September 22. The Pontiac Branch would like to welcome teens to explore various types of poetry and create their own original works to submit.
The poetry contest is open to all students in grades 5 – 12. The theme this year is “Go Green” (environmentally friendly poetry). Contest deadline is November 3.
Join Miss Marsha for another teen writing program this afternoon at 4pm! Miss Marsha promises to bring treats, too. Photos from both last week’s and today’s writing program will be posted soon!
You’ve asked for it, and now we deliver. This Tuesday, Teen Café will be all about writing. Drop in at 4 pm to engage your five senses (yes, that means food!) and enjoy a writing program you won’t soon forget!
Each Tuesday at 4 pm we have Teen Café, a program for our teens to do different things. This week we will be making Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs). ATCs are miniature pieces of art that can be traded and collected if the artist so desires. They are usually made on card stock, and the art can be done in any media (digital art, watercolor, pencil, etc.). The only requirement is that they be 2.5 X 3.5 inches in size – the exact size of a baseball card. I’ve been making ATCs for a month or so now, and I am going to try to make one based upon each book I read. Above are a few that I have made so far. Don’t miss this exciting program! We’ll provide all the materials you need!
