Potterpalooza this Friday

This Friday for one day only watch the bold evolution of young Harry Potter as he transforms into old Harry Potter. We're taking it from the Sorcerer's Stone to the Order of the Phoenix.

We are going to watch every single Harry Potter movie on our fantabulous new Blu-ray system. We'll start at 10 am and go until the credits roll on the Order of the Phoenix. I'm guesstimating around 10 pm.

See you on Friday!

No Program Friday July 3rd, Book Arts Friday July 10th

We aren't having a teen program this Friday because the library's closed.

I, for one, am going to be home shooting bottle rockets and roman candles off of my deck while singing all of Lee Greenwood's hits. It's all about the patriotism, baby! There's Lee: >===============================>

Next week, howsomever, have I got a program for you!
Joe DeCamillis, Artist Extraordinaire, is going to show us the magic of book alteration. We're going to take old books and cut them and paint them and pound them and nail them and make them into amazing works of art. If you only come to one summer reading program this summer, then make it this one. I'm SERIOUS!!!

I've been collecting all these cool old art books and other crazy books for us to use. We'll provide everything you need plus pizza. If you want to add any photos to your book bring those along. That's Friday, July 10th, from 2:30-4:30 for Book Arts.

New Alex Rider Book!!!

For all you Alex Rider fans, Anthony Horowitz has posted some information about the next book in the series on his blog at http://anthonyhorowitz.com/newscentre/, and it is officially titled (drumroll please), Crocodile Tears.

And incidentally, if you've not checked out the Alex Rider movie from the juvenile dvd's downstairs, it is definitely worth watching!

Done with Twilight and need a fix?

I recently read the first novel in a new series called "The Immortals" by Alyson Noel, and lemme tell ya - it's no Twilight (I mean really, what is?), but it's GOOD STUFF and I will definitely be picking up its sequel (due out in June).

Sixteen-year-old Ever used to have it all - a little sister named Riley, loving parents, and her dog Buttercup. She was part of the popular crowd, a beautiful cheerleader with long blond hair and blue eyes, and a cute boyfriend. Until one day, a terrible accident claimed the lives of her family, and she is left to attend a new school and with new abilities - she can see auras, hear thoughts, and know a person's entire life story just by touch. Veiling herself in baggy hoodies with an Ipod in her ear at all times to block out her classmates' sneers, Ever is miserable except for the moments when Riley comes back to visit. And then she meets Damen, exotic and beautiful Damen, who (TWILIGHT PARALLEL ALERT) is the only person who's mind is blank and aura is clear. Something is obviously not normal about him, but she can't quite put her finger on it. (And nope - it's not the obvious.) And why is he attracted to HER? Dun dun dun...

Definitely pick this one up!
