Teen Events @ Fredricksen

Hello Fredricksen Teens!

Here comes winter! Don’t wait for cabin fever to set in – makes plans now to be at Fredricksen in December for our Gingerbread Extravaganza, Minute to Win It, a holiday showing of the movie Elf and a daylong marathon of Disney favs! Come with old friends, meet new friends. And mark your calendars for our programs in January including: a showing of The Princess Bride (with audience participation) Saturday, January 4th and Teen DIY Crafts with Rainbow Loom Bracelets Sunday, January 19th.

Looking for a great book to keep you company over the winter school break? Check out our new “NEW Books” section – now located in the last stack in the teen section. The shelves are packed with new tales of dystopian worlds, steampunk espionage, teen rom/com and serious introspection.

The Teen Advisory Group (TAG) is always looking for new members. We have two groups: TAG Blue is for teens in grades 10-12, TAG Green is for teens in grades 7-9. Each group will meet one Sunday per month beginning in January. Our meetings will begin at 3:30pm and run for about an hour. We work as a group on the teen library collection and on planning teens events and programs. Drop me an email if you have any questions about TAG.

TAG meeting dates: TAG Blue - January 5th, February 2nd and March 2nd . TAG Green - January 19th, February 16th, and March 16th

Hoping to see you soon,

Mrs. Davies
