Teen-a-Palooza III

We have been especially busy during these rainy days, as three programs over the past two days each attracted 30 participants. Our final Teen-A-Palooza of the year included Wii/DDR/GH II gaming & a Christmas tree ornament sewing project.

Young Adult Evaluation Form Comments:

"The program is awesome, because you got to sew." Jesus L., 9th grade

Young Adult Suggestions for Future Programs:

"Maybe a cooking activity?" - Melissa L., 11th grade
"Field trips!" - Nancy G., 9th grade

Toddler Story Time

I can't believe that we had 15 people at toddler story time today. I think that may be a new record for that noon time slot! Here are some nice pics from the special needs class and toddler story time.

Teen-A-Palooza II

The young adults at La Puente Library enjoyed their second Teen-A-Palooza this week, which included crafts, such as a lip gloss necklace, and DDR, Guitar Hero ("Real guitars are for old people."), and Wii Gaming. The young adults also helped out with a couple of holiday-themed art projects for kids (pics attached). The funny thing is that after the kids completed their mini-X-mas trees and piñata ornaments --- a number of teens swooped in and made their own piñata ornaments and miniature trees! In fact, today, I had 2 regulars and 3 new teens working at a separate table, all by themselves, on their very own precisely-designed ornaments!!! (Does this count as two teen programs this week? Just joshing!) : )

YA/Kids Talent Expo

This afternoon, over twenty young adults, kids, and parents gathered for an exciting talent expo. Although our 4th grade would-be Rachael Ray canceled, the Break Dancing Boys and YA/kid duets made up for the absent cooking demo.
