Greetings Everyone!
Sorry that it has been such a long hiatus since I've graced you with the every day details of the Teen department. I've been busy familiarizing myself with Nutmeg nominees, putting together summer reading packets and picking out/ordering prizes. The Summer Reading Program is my favorite time of the year here. I love seeing all the familiar faces and getting to know new people who are participating for the first time.
This year's theme is Unmask! and has a superhero motif. I'll be bringing back some favorite programs (Cupcake Wars, Book Cover Candy Art, Murder Mystery, etc.) and introducing some new ones (like Live Action Candy Land which I am ridiculously excited for).
I will be coming to visit most of the schools starting next week where you will all get a flyer and have the opportunity to hear about the programs and ask questions. However, if you just can't wait that long, check out the "events" tab at the top of the page. The programs are on the calendar with a (brief) description. Please note that there are programs that will require registration. Registration for the Summer Reading Program, and its events, begins on Monday, June 22nd. You must register in-person. There will be waiting lists for programs that fill up and, believe me, people do get called from the waiting list.
I hope that you are all as excited for another Teen SRP as I am. Hopefully I will see you in a few weeks. In the meantime, I'll be busy here getting ready.
