Feature Story for November by Alexandra Moore

My Personal Michigan Hero by Alexandra Moore

My hero is smart, unique, and caring. Most people think a hero is someone with super powers. I think a hero is someone who people look up to. And today my hero is my Uncle Dave, known as David Ferguson. (To read the rest of the story, stop by the Jack Knight Cafe, Wednesdays and Fridays, 2:30-4:30 p.m.)

Runners-up for November are:

Mary Barnes-Thank you, God
Dalton Barker-Cousin Travis who fought in the Iraq War
Michael Reybuck-Thanks, Mom

Guys Lock-in-A Noisy Affair!

The guys' only lock-in held at the Buchanan District Library on Saturday, November 21, 2009 from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. was a great time! 17 guys attended, and they had a blast.

The Wii was available, and Link's Crossbow Training was the big game of the night. The guys had fun testing out the new skeeball game, and playing Fact or Crap. Tag was also a hit. They even held an impromptu hotdog eating contest!

It was crazy, it was noisy, and it was all at the Buchanan District Library!

Girls Lock-in Well Attended!

The girls' only lock-in at the Buchanan District Library, held on Saturday, November 14, 2009, from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. was a big success! 21 girls attended, along with Emma the dog, and Templeton the rat!

The Wii was available and the place was rocking with Guitar Hero. The girls worked on Teen Artist Trading cards to be traded with another library, and were playing hide-and-seek by the end of the night.

The guys' only lock-in will be on Saturday, November 21. Make sure to be here for the fun, Guys!
