For everyone who’s participating in the Teen Summer Reading Program – here are some tips for playing (sorry for any confusion!)

If you write a Book Review on the yellow form and go to put it in the box at the desk, make sure you ask a staff person for your MarlBuck!  We are not keeping track for you – you should receive the MarlBuck right then and there.

If you post online, I am keeping track if you are owed one for the next time you come in.

The Adult/Teen program is really a different thing altogether – it was intended for the adults as we have done in past summers but some teens prefer to just fill out the slip with the book they’ve read and be entered into the weekly drawing for a prize.  There is a seperate box on the desk for that – you will NOT earn MarlBucks for those, but you can participate in both programs.  For example, read Snakehead, then fill out the Adult/Teen form and put in box to win the weekly prize.  Also fill out the Teen Review form, put in different box and ask for your MarlBuck!

OTHER NOTES:

Make Soda- Can Tab Bracelets (and earn $20 MarlBucks!)  Monday, July 21 @ 4pm

If your family is participating in the Family Create-A-Bug, all bugs are due by Fri, August 1

If you’re in between required summer reading, and just want to read something for fun, come and check out some of the new young adult fiction that came in just yesterday!  (Ok, you have to give us a couple days to process them first!)  You can see some of the titles on the NEW FICTION page.

And just a reminder, you can still sign-up for the Teen Summer Reading Program if you haven’t yet.  Tell your friends too.  We’ve gotten a great response this year and have really increased our numbers of teens signing-up from 2007 – THANKS!

hello all!

I am just giving a quick update as I am back from vacation and excited to see that we have so many teens signed up for our fun “Don’t Bug Me @ the Library” Teen summer reading program.  Game sheets for ‘I Spy Marlborough’ are available on this blog as a pdf document, or you can get a paper copy at the Library.

Game sheets for “RML Survivor’ are now available at the Library as well. There is also a new victim posted as of today, and for those of you who started late, I left the first victim up for a while longer (also because I was away on vacation and felt bad having missed Fridays update til today)

ALSO, don’t forget, Flip-Flop fun is tonite at 6pm here at RML – bring a cheap new pair or old pair of flip-flops to decorate – we will supply all the decorations and adornments – you bring a pair that fits you – or a pair to give as a cool gift to someone (but you should know their shoe size first, he he)
