February Happenings at the Library

Wow! Its been a busy month! We had:
****Teen Advisory Board on Thursday, February 5th
Alot of conversation about our next project and we are gearing up for a visit from two graphic artists. The first graphic novel we are reading is "The Arrival" by Shaun Tan. We have read it at home and are also reading it together because it is an amazing book.

****On Thursday, November 12th we had Book Group (I think we need a good name!)
Here we spent most of our time talking about "The Arrival", eating snacks and giggling too! We are all quite wowed out with "The Arrival" and everyone is looking forward to this week where we will talk abouut it some more...what an amazing graphic novel.

Tomorrow, Thursday, February 19th at 3:00---Wii Gaming day and we will also talk about the book and work on our next project...hats for troops....so far we are learning how to cast on and to knit. Eventually, we will learn to purl and also to decrease in order to make these hats. We sure have taken on a project this time!

********FEBRUARY 26th****3:30- 5:00 PM*****Author/Graphic artist Peaco Todd****** will do a workshop with us on creating our own comic avatar. Everyone is welcome!(There will be a second workshop with another illustrator in March!!!)

Most of these great programs are thanks to the NH Charitable Foundation and the Friends of the Conway Library.
