February: Teen Book Group

Teen Book Group

This month, bring your favorite fantasy book

to share with everyone.

We’ll talk about fantasy and why we like this genre so much,

while munching away on pretzels.

Friday, February 28th from 3-4:30pm.
In the library’s teen area!

Teen groups are for

grades 6-12 or ages 12-18.

For teens who read.

The Goodwin Library is beginning a new program! Just. For. Teens.

If you're a bibliophile

bib·li·o·phile

/ˈbiblēəˌfīl/

noun

1. a person who collects or has a great love of books

a garrulous person (that is, someone who loves to talk)

perhaps you have made a New Year's resolution to read more, get out more, live at your library, talk about imaginary people that you swear are real, make new friends, or eat snacks while discussing the implications of a bird falling in love with a fish... or was that a human falling in love with a vampire? Mundane with a shadowhunter?

AND you're 12-18 years old OR in grades 6th-12th

This program IS for YOU.

If any of the above sounds awesome, bizarre, or cool... come!

Our first meeting is January 24th, 2014.

Our meetings will be the 4th Friday of every month. (How easy? F as in Fourth and Friday)

3:00-4:30pm in the library's new teen space.

As a bonus, you get first dibs to check out any new teen books that come into the library*!

We'll be saving them for you.

Bring a NEW book to share to this first meeting. This can be a brand new book or a new to you author, genre, book, or series that you've been reading.

*You do NOT need a library card to come to the book group, but you WILL need one to take any books home with you. So if you're new to the library, bring a student ID and something with your name and address on it to get a library card.

End date for book nominations is in January!

Teens in 7th-12th grade!

There are two NH book awards controlled by you!

The Isinglass Award began in the Barrington Public Library so NH teens in 7th and 8th grade could tell all of NH what they love to read.
That includes you! Submit your favorite title by the end of January so it can be considered for the 2015 award. Either follow this link or e-mail me at aubrey@goodwinlibrary.org for more information or to submit a title.

The Flume award was designed for high-school students only. Submit your beloved title by January 14th for it to be added to the 2015 nominee list. That's just a few weeks away! For more information or to submit a title, follow this link or e-mail me at aubrey@goodwinlibrary.org.
