Programs for guys

Posted by ecya on December 14, 2011

Last week we met and chatted about programs gears towards guys.

Mentioned:

  • Volcano (other exploding experiments like Diet Coke and Mentos)
  • Science Experiments
  • Bubble Rockets
  • Duct Tape Tie
  • Music Events – after hours
  • food programs – make nachos, decorate cupcakes, bake brownies
  • mini golf
  • nerf gun battle
  • move nights

*please add your ideas/successful programs to the list to share.

** Also check out Pinterest for more ideas on crafts/food programs. Everything is on this site – but there’s a craft and DIY section. I’ve been getting tons of ideas from it!  Check out my boards (Jennifer Rummel) for some ideas on what you can find. I have lots of different boards, but my “work” boards are labeled Teen

***Be on the lookout for the books we mentioned closer to the beginning of the year.

Summer Reading post

Posted by ecya on June 14, 2011

It’s MUCH later than I intended, but the Summer Reading books by state is now available at http://ecya.wordpress.com/summerreadingprograms/

There’s also a road trip book list and all the books are linked to amazon.

Hopefully this helps with some displays over the summer!!!!

Posted by ecya on April 9, 2011

Yesterday at the meeting, we mentioned sites to help with book purchasing. I love this one because it allows me to double check my monthly lists to make sure I’m not forgetting anything. It also combines the release dates of fiction and nonfiction books.

Check it out here

Lisa Barham

Posted by ecya on September 20, 2008

Today, I just had Lisa Barham in the library for an author event.  It was the second one I’ve ever had and the turnout…was well..poor.  But the event was really fun and Lisa is super cool. For those of you unfamiliar with her, here are her books.

They’re really cute and have fabulous illustrations.  They’re about one girl, Imogene and her love of fashion and the crazy adventures in the fashion world.  Lisa is a local author and just fabulous.  She’s also on myspace and has a new website.  Be sure to check her out.

Are any of you connecting to your teens with READERGIRLZ?

They have a great book each month, author chats online, play lists, and a bunch of other ideas. I usually post the current poster, but I haven’t done anything else. I was just wondering if any of you were more successful.

Just wanted to share my new webpage, thanks to Cornell, which I think will attract me teens.  There’s still some other links to go up, but I’m REALLY happy with the main page.  Check it out and let me know what you all think.

For a limited time only, check out the new Joss Whedon project (the creator of BUFFY) starring  Neil Patrick Harris in a superhero musical.  It’s fabulous….
