Photos From Past Events

2010-03-02T10:06:00.007-05:00

Finally, I have a moment to post photos from the Anti-Valentine's Day Party and the Gaming Tournament! Both programs were a huge success.

First up, the Anti-Valentine's Day Party. Everyone had a great time mocking love and romance! To start, we made black roses from duct tape and pipe cleaners, followed by each person writing a really bad valentine and then everyone working together to write one really, really bad break-up letter. After the writing portion of the program we moved on to defacing the covers of several romance novels. Don't worry, no actual books were harmed at the Anti-Valentine's Day Party! Copies of the cover art were provided instead :-) And for the big finally, a guys vs. girls race to see which team could open a pile of Hershey's Kisses the fastest ... while wearing gloves. We only had time for two races and the guys won both rounds!

It was great to see both new and familiar faces at the gaming tournament. We set up brackets for Mario Kart, DDR and Guitar Hero. The competition was fierce throughout the three hour event, but in the end Collin (DDR), Chase (Mario Kart) and Emma (Guitar Hero) were the winners, each taking home a $10 gift card to EB Games! Look for another gaming tournament over spring break.

Don't Miss Movie Bingo This Friday

2010-02-16T14:29:00.003-05:00

You: Movie Bingo? What is Movie Bingo?

Me: I am so glad you asked! Movie bingo is just like regular bingo, but without the numbers. Instead, just watch and listen for scenes and lines in the movie, then mark them off on your bingo card as they play on the screen.

You: Okay, sounds interesting...what movie are we watching?

Me: The Princess Bride! And as always plenty of snacks will be on hand and no registration is required.

You: When is this happening again?

Me: This Friday (February 19th) from 3:30pm to 5pm on the lower level at Way Library. See you there!

Anti-Valentine's Day Party This Friday

2010-02-08T13:10:00.005-05:00

Don't miss the Anti-Valentine’s Day party on Friday, February 12th from 2pm-4pm in the library's youth activity room. If Valentine's Day is not your thing, this is the perfect opportunity for you to creatively mock the day! There will be several activities, including making black roses from duct tape, poking fun at romance novel covers—we will provide color copies for you to add illustrations and comments, plus contests for the worst valentine and break-up letter. We will also divide into teams and race to see who can unwrap the most Hershey Kisses while wearing gloves. Plenty of cupcakes, chocolates and other sweets will be available too — after all, treats are the only redeeming feature of Valentine’s Day!

You don’t need to be single to join this party—everyone is encouraged to bring friends, including significant others, and enjoy mocking the commercial stereotypes of romance.

Whaaat? I have to register!

2010-01-13T15:59:00.007-05:00

As you probably know, registration is usually not requires for the teen programs at Way Library.

We like to keep thing light around here...
No pressure,
Come to a program if you can,
But if you can't,
No worries...it's cool.

However, we have a gaming tournament scheduled for February 15th and guess what...REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!! Why you ask? Well, knowing how many people to expect will really help the people from Game Stop prepare for the event (they are helping us run the tournament, by the way). So, if you would like to attend this program, all you have to do is click on the yellow box to the left of this post and fill in the info on the screen. That's it...so easy!

Oh, you want to know more about the tournament...OK!

Check this out...
A teen book group at a Massachusetts library had a unique fundraiser last week...a cardboard tube battle! Here is an article from their local paper. I don't know about you, but I'd totally go to their group!

Pizza Fun

2009-11-23T11:16:00.005-05:00

Eating pizza, hanging out with friends, and winning prizes ...what could be better! The pizza challenge was so much fun. Thanks to everyone who attended! In case you missed it, 11 teens sampled cheese pizzas from Marco's, Domino's, Vito's and Pizza Hut! All the pizzas were delicious, but after taking a vote, Marco's won as the overall favorite!

After sampling the pizzas, the group took part in a few games. First up, everyone was given a word search to complete. A prize was given the first contestant to correctly find all 15 pizza related words. "Ham" seemed to be the most difficult word to find :) After the word search, we divided up into groups of two or three for the next game, folding pizza boxes with one hand behind your back!! It's not as easy as one might think, especially when you can't stop laughing. Thanks to Marco's and Domino's for donating the pizza boxes!

Free Pizza!!

2009-11-16T09:44:00.003-05:00

Don't forget to register for the Pizza Challenge happening tomorrow from 3:30pm-5pm in the Youth Activity Room.

Catching Fire is Here!

2009-09-01T09:50:00.006-04:00

Catching Fire, the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins, is FINALLY HERE! Finally here, as in finally published I should say. The waiting list is growing fast. Click here to add your name to the list! READ THE FIRST CHAPTER.

Not familiar with the Hunger Games?

Here is a quick synopses of what you missed in the first book.

COULD YOU SURVIVE ON YOUR OWN, IN THE WILD, WITH EVERYONE FIGHTING AGAINST YOU?

Twenty- four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives. In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see. Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Be sure to visit The Hunger Games official site - there are all sorts of cool things for fans. Check out the message boards to talk with other fans and you can even play in the Tribute Trials and see how you'd do in The Hunger Games.

Teen Poetry Slam...Hilarity Ensues

2009-07-14T09:37:00.011-04:00

Well, we only had three people come out for the Teen Poetry Slam last week, but we had a great time just the same! The program kicked off with silly poetry readings on the stage, followed by a poem puzzle game, and finaly a crazy writing game called "Composition." The results of this game are posted below, but first let me share with you the instructions our writers were given before they began. Also keep in mind that everyone had been noshing on iced coffee, brownies and chocolate chip muffins the whole time leading up to this game :)

The group is given a sheet of paper and a paper clip. The first writer starts a story by writing two lines. She then folds the top edge of the paper over her words, fastens it with a paper clip, and then writes two words to begin the next line. The paper is then passed to the next writer at the table. That writer completes the sentence and adds another, folds it down, adds two words to start another line and passes it on. This continues as long as you want the game to last or until the page is full.

OK...ready for the results??

Bob's pants were walking one day. He was eating flowers. He then frolicked in a field of poisonous socks. He frolicked so fast, his pants fell off. After that trees came to life and started attacking people. Towns were destroyed, the Earth suddenly was in chaos. The stars blew up then he turned into a chick. She then ate chicken wings and died. So Alfred thought he could save her, and failed. Days later the moon exploded and bits came flying everywhere towards earth! The planet Pluto started planting corn. The planets blew up then the clouds vomited. All of a sudden Bob died of a heat stroke. Andrew got shocked and died too. After hours the chicken noodle soup got cold, but the ramen store closed, and the noodle soup disappeared. During midnight a volcano erupted then she vomited. And the sky turned red and everybody died. The end.

A crazy story indeed, but everyone enjoyed the program!

Save Ohio Libraries!

2009-06-22T12:10:00.009-04:00

Teens, Ohio Libraries Need Your Help NOW!

At a news conference on Friday, June 19, Governor Strickland proposed a cut to state funding for public libraries of $227.3 million in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 as part of his plan to fill the $3.2 billion gap in the budget that must be balanced by the Ohio General Assembly's Conference Committee by June 30. This will mean a more than 50% cut in funding for many of Ohio's public libraries. Libraries could close or face significant reductions in operations as a result of the Governor's proposal. This cut is in addition to the 20% reduction in funding that libraries are already facing, because their funding comes from 2.22% of the state's declining General Revenue Fund.

Nancy Kelley, Way Library director, said that approximately 45 percent of Way’s revenue comes from the library’s four-year operating levy. “Therefore,” she continued, “we will not have to close the doors as many other libraries might have to do. But Way Library will need to drastically limit its hours and book purchases. Programming and staff hours will be slashed.”
She asked for people to contact state officials immediately.

Teen Summer Reading Program

2009-06-02T09:12:00.063-04:00

Want to win prizes for reading on your summer vacation?

What do I have to do?

It's so easy!

For every book or magazine you read between June 8 and July 17, simply fill out a review form (available in the Young Adult section at Way Public Library) and put it in the box (also in the Young Adult section at Way Library). Each review that you submit enters your name for a weekly prize drawing (five book reviews -- enters your name five times).

Prizes...what kinds of prizes?

Here are some of the things you can win!

T-shirts, posters, pencils, key chains, mini inflatable guitars, guitar picks, and coupons for free ice cream from Twisty Treat!

What else do you have at Way this summer?
