There's lots of interesting reasons to come down to the library this week quite apart from the usual ones of checking out books, audiobooks, CD's, DVDs and museum passes.
Thursday night at 7pm, we have local author night featuring Nicholas DiGiovanni discussing his latest book "Rip"—a hillarously irreverent retelling of Washington Irving's classic Rip Van Winkle.
Friday features two fun youth oriented events. First there is the kick off of Library Club from 10-11am for kids aged 3 and older. A program to familiarize youth with all the benefits of a library! There will be fun library activities, and a special guest performer storyteller / puppeteer. Sign up by calling 978-970-4122.
And second there is the highly anticipated Hunger Games Teen Event & Food Drive from 3-4pm for teens grade 5 and up. Participants are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank for their chance to win movie passes. Teens will also have the opportunity to create buttons to support their favorite tributes and to participate in some friendly competition of our own. May the odds be ever in your favor.
Here's your chance to help your neighbors, help yourself, and support your favorite tributes in the upcoming games! No, not the 2012 Olympic Games, the theatrical release of the Hunger Games. Come on down to the library on Friday, March 23rd from 3:00-4:30 to make buttons in support of your favorite district. We’ll also be engaging in some competitive games—“may the odds be ever in your favor.” But here's the part where you get to help your neighbors and yourself: bring a non perishable food item for donation to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank, Inc. from this suggestions list and you will be entered in a chance to win movie passes! You'll be helping out a great cause, (because, in the end, hunger is no game). This event is for teens in grades 5 and up. No sign-up is required. If you have any questions please contact the Youth Services Department at 978-970-4122.
