Teen Events @ Fredricksen
Dear Fredricksen Teens,
It's January and we're knee deep in chilly weather. You can shake off the chill at our first ever Cabin Fever Party on January 31st.
The Academy Awards (aka “The Oscars”) airs in February. We’ll have our own tribute to great movies with the classic tale of love and bravery The Princess Bride (Feb 15th) and the new hero classic Guardians of the Galaxy (Feb 22nd).
If you are preparing to take your Learners Permit and Drivers License Tests you won’t want to miss out on our new online resource for Free Practice Learner’s Permit Tests! Using this resource you will be able to take multiple practice tests with questions just like the ones PennDOT asks, including tests that focus just on Road Signs. Plus, you can access the often hard-to-find official Pennsylvania Drivers Manual. All of this is FREE!!! Let Fredricksen be part of your road to driving success! A test prep workshop will be held on February 21st. CLICK ON THE LINK ABOVE TO GET STARTED!
There are lots of programs in January and February so hopefully you’ll find something you’d like to try. And don’t forget that our Teen Advisory Board is always accepting new members. Our TAG Blue group - for teens in grades 10-12 - will meet on Sunday, February 15th. TAG Green - for teens in grades 7-9 - will meet on Sunday, February 22nd. TAG is a great place to meet new friends, to reconnect with summer friends and to help plan all of Fredricksen’s Teen events.
Hoping to see you all at the library soon,
Mrs. Davies
Avoid the same-old same-old clichéd Valentine's Day cards this year. Send a special message of love with a beautiful card handmade by our Teen Advisory Group. Cards (with envelopes) will be on sale at the Reference Desk from January 17th to February 14th. Choices of many colors and quotes from classic and popular books will be available with messages for children, friends and your true love. 
Winter restlessness starting to set in? Does summer vacation seem an eternity away? Stop by the library to bask in some manufactured sun, enjoy a hot dog picnic, indoor beach ball games and a showing of a summer movie. Feel free to wear shorts and flip flops!! For teens ages 12 – 18, in grades 7 -12. Refreshments provided by the Friends of Fredricksen. 
Do feelings of anxiety - sweaty palms, butterflies in your stomach and worse - plague you in school? Are you panicked about school presentations? Then join our experts Jared and Paige Stonge for this great workshop. You will learn to present your work and ideas with confidence and style. Skills taught by these two formerly nationally ranked college debaters will stay with you for years. For teens ages 12-18, in grades 7-12. Refreshments provided by the Friends of Fredricksen.
Join us for an informal and fun gathering centered around knitting and crochet. Meet others who love crochet and knitting while making progress on your favorite project. Polish your skills and have fun doing it.
This writers group offers teens a place to share their work, get peer feedback and sharpen writing skills. For teens ages 12 – 18, in grades 7 -12. Refreshments provided by the Friends of Fredricksen.
Inconceivable! Join us for this classic love/adventure story. This movie has it all - fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love and miracles. As a bonus, this is an Audience Participation presentation. You have the freedom to quote along with the actors!
This workshop will prepare 15-18 year old teens to take their Pennsylvania Learner's Permit Test. We will work as a whole group and in teams on hundreds of practice test questions - all meant to train a new generation of safer drivers. Our group will have time for honest discussions about peer pressure, the rights and responsibilities of driving and how to avoid distractions. Lunch will be provided. Refreshments provided by the Friends of Fredricksen.
