PROGRAMS FOR Children, TEENS, & FAMILIES In addition to a full complement of story times for babies and preschoolers, afterschool programs for kids, and drop-in activities for teens in the Main Library Teen Center, the Library offers some special events for teens, children, and families this quarter. Teens: Design Your Own Card! Teens from 13-18 are invited to enter the Library’s Design-A-Card Competition. Many teens cannot borrow library books because their cards are blocked; so the Library in collaboration with the Friends of the Shaker Library wants to create a Three for Teens card that will allow teens to borrow up to three books without a parent’s or guardian’s signature. The winning design will be used for the Three for Teens card and the winning teen designer will receive $100 from the Friends of the Shaker Library. “What better way to appeal to teens than to ask them to design a card they will carry in their pockets and use,” said Friends president Nancy Ryan O’Connor. Details and competition rules are available online and at the Library. Deadline for entry is Monday, January 30 and the winner will be announced on Friday, February 17. Yu-Gi-Oh! Demo Day at Woods Branch, 3-5 pm Friday, January 20: The trading card game classic is featured on a special demo day. The first 20 attendees will receive a free demo pack to learn how to play the game. Seasoned players are welcome to bring their own decks for tournament-style play. For kids ages 6-11. No registration is required. Black History Month Scavenger Hunt, February 1-28: Test your knowledge and detective skills. Stop into Main Library or Woods Branch anytime during February for an interactive learning adventure. Learn about famous and lesser known African Americans who served their communities. Presidents’ Day Fun at Main Library, 9 am-9 pm Monday, February 20: Visit the Main library on Presidents’ Day to enjoy creative activities. For families and kids of all ages.
