Thursdays! Thursdays! Thursdays!

Hi all,
We enjoyed watching "HOLES" and feel the book and movie are both great! Next week, on February 4th we have Teen Advisory Board to plan for the month of March! Erica is in charge of February and is working on some ideas for programs for this month. I think we are going to love her book choice but I'm keeping that a secret for now!

See you on Thursday and bring a friend....you get two free books for bringing a new member!
Keep on reading!

Rebecca, the Settler's Green Teen and her friend, Robbie Recycle!

Hi all,

We did it...we won a second place prize in the Settler's Green scarecrow contest! Wow...what a lot of hard work and I just want all of you to know that this was a real team project with people donating things and finding things and oh yes, hammering things too!

The staff at Settler's Green wants to keep the scarecrows through Halloween so be sure to get down there and find our display. Its near the food cafe called Wrapsodies N' Greens which is close to the front entrance.

Congratulations to all the YA kids at Conway Public Library....hard work but a job well done!
Tommorow we will begin our next book "The War of the Worlds" by HG Wells. Its also our Wii gaming day!
