June is almost here, and Summer is near…

June Programs are here as we start ramping up to Summer Reading and Summer Spark Challenge 2018! Regular Teen Programming will continue through the summer, along this year’s Summer theme of Libraries ROCK!

Before we get to summer though, we need to finish out the school year. Teens taking high school level courses have the Regents Exams to worry about, but never fear-the library is here!

Come cram for the Regents on Saturdays: 6/2 and 6/9 from 10:30-1:30 in the Nutrition Room. Free bagels will be provided to all those who register ahead of time!  A U.S. History expert will be here to help as well with practice exams and offering study help for those taking the U.S. History Regents Exam.

June 6: Fortnite!

Gather your friends and play the game on two large screens! Snacks will be provided! Meet in the Nutrition Room from 3:30-4:45 for this fun program.

Teen cooking returns on June 11 with this favorite: Bubble Tea! Formally known as Boba Tea, participants will learn how easy it is to make this delicious frozen Taiwanese treat. Interested in attending? Meet Miss Sarah in the Nutrition Room from 3:30-4:30.

Supplies provided by the library; first-come, first-served.

Want more than just the whole world in your hand? How about a galaxy? Learn how to make this fun and beautiful craft on Tuesday, June 12 from 3:30-4:30 in the Teen Section. All supplies provided by the library (snacks too!).

Anime & Manga is continues with this action packed anime: Dragonball Super! Watch this anime, courtesy of Crunchyroll, with friends and snacks provided by the library on June 18 from 3:30-5:00 in the Gallery.

Synopsis:

After 18 years, we have the newest Dragon Ball story from creator Akira Toriyama. With Majin Buu defeated, Goku has taken a completely new role as…a radish farmer?! With Earth at peace, our heroes have settled into normal lives. But they can’t get too comfortable. Far away, the powerful God of Destruction, Beerus, awakens to a prophecy revealing his demise at the hands of an even more formidable being. When his search for the Saiyan God brings him to Earth, can Goku and his friends take on their strongest foe yet?

Take it easy at this low-stakes hour long program. The library has recently acquired some puzzles, and now we have to put them together! Join Miss Sarah on June 19 from 3:30-4:30 in the Teen Section to work on the puzzles and enjoy snacks.

Slime is returning to the library! Kick off Summer Vacation by learning how to make your own slime creations at this free program on June 25 from 3:30-4:40 in the Teen Section! All supplies provided by the library; first come, first served.

Wind down after the hectic school year at this free teen yoga event!

Yogi Damien will be there to lead participants through an hour long yoga session on June 26 from 7:30-8:30 in the Teen Section. Registration in advance is encouraged, since there is only room for 20 participants.

 

 

June is (finally) here!

June is here, and so are the new Chromeboxes and iPads in the Teen Zone! Brand new chairs and tables too! You can also expect to see iMacs within the coming week, so watch our Twitter (@field_teens) or our Snapchat (fieldteens) for updates on that and other upcoming events in the Teen Space.

Programming is also going to be kicked up a notch with programs happening on Mondays AND Tuesdays. Pop-up programs will also be occurring in the teen space. Our last two were May 4th– Star Wars perler beads craft, and also a Tissue Paper Flower making pop-up craft. You can see the results of that program on display for this month’s LGBT Pride Book Display in the teen space.

 

 

Programs for the upcoming month kick off with an ACT Prep course on Saturday June 3 from 11-1 in the Teen Zone. If you’d like to come, but haven’t signed up yet, please call! You must bring your own calculator and pencil for this study session.  We will have more SAT and ACT Prep sessions in the fall.

Join the peer powered Educate-Make-A-Difference team on this day to learn about what you need to know in order to pass the ACT Exam with flying colors!
