Have you heard?

A Film and Lit is forming at MPL for high school students! We will meet every other month to discuss a selected adult or higher level YA book, and then we will watch its movie adaptation. Pick up a permission slip at the library. Our first meeting is Thursday, September 19!

Quiz Time!

 

Do you like to read?

Do you like games?

Do you like food?

 

 

If you answered “YES” to the above questions, I have one more for you….

 

WHY AREN’T YOU IN BOOK CLUB?!?!?!

 

 

We are gearing up for another year of Nook Book Club at Maryville Public Library, and we want YOU to join! The club is open to sixth through eighth graders, and we meet once a month in the community room of MPL.

This isn’t like school—no homework, no tests—just fun discussion and games about popular YA books that span all types of genres! (And let’s not forget food and prizes! YAY!)

 

Pick up a permission slip at the library and return it by

Wednesday, September 4 to join the Nook!

 

Happy Reading!

Case Closed!

MPL's summer reading program has drawn to a close, and the TSI (Teen Scene Investigation) was a HUGE success! We had a record breaking number of 43 teen readers participating this year! For every 500 pages of YA or adult books the teens read, they received an "evidence tag" that could be redeemed for prizes or thrown into one of our awesome raffle drawings. They could also earn bonus green evidence tags by reading from our special Most Wanted TSI Mystery Reads Lists or by attending our Sherlock Holmes movie night or our CSI Game Night. Thirty-six books from the Most Wanted List were read while and additional ninety-one white tags were handed out. That's over 45,000 pages read! WOW!

The following people were the winners of our raffle prizes.

Leticia Tate, Winner of Dinner and a Movie Combo #1 (2 Hangar Tickets and 2 Taco John's meals)

Ashley Riley, Winner of Dinner and Movie Combo #2

Miriam Butler, Winner of the Dinner and a Movie Combo #3
