Gaming & Summer Reading

Patrick's Teen Gaming Tournament was a smashing success (read Patrick's blog on BPL's homepage), so we are setting aside a time each week until school ends to let teens hone their DDR skills. This will be on Thursdays from 3:30 to 5 PM, starting May 1st and continue through June 5th. We will take a break for our Teen Summer Reading Program and resume in the fall.

This years Teen Summer Reading program (starting June23rd) will be Books to Film. Review books, audios, magazines or a teen program and be eligible for our weekly $25 gift certificate. If you read a book that has been made into a movie and compare the two it will triple your chances of winning. Movies for teens will be shown every Tuesday at 4:30 PM, these, of course, will be movies based on books. There will also be a Short Film contest. Films should be no longer than 10 min. and must be appropriate for general audiences. At the end of the program we will have a film festival and show the entries, a panel of judges will decide the winner. The winner will receive a digital camcorder. More information & details will be available in June.
