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.

Welcome to the New Teen Blog!

The Teen Adivisory Board is very excited about the Bangor Public Libray's new website. The new Teen Blog is a way for area Teens to express their opinions and let the Library know what they think of our collection, programs and website.
