Book Review by Julie Blaylock

Trollbridge: A Rock 'n' Roll Fairy Tale byJane Yolen and Adam Stemple

Twelve dairy princesses and a popular boy band go missing within days of each other. A coincidence, or something sinister? The police are baffled. This book has trolls, magic, and music. A daring heroine and heroes. I liked this book alot, and think you will, too!

Lock-in at the Library a Smash Hit!

The lock-in at the library, held this past Saturday night, was a big success! 28 teens attended and had a great time. We had pizza, pop, and chips. Computers were available to all, as well as Karaoke, which was very popular throughout the night. Teens were able to make their own key chains. Games were available, such as Uno and Life, but everyone was having too much fun singing and dancing to play them. Several suggestions were made for future lock-ins.

Sheila and I (Julie) were very pleased with how well things went. You guys were great! There was little mess to clean up after we closed the doors at 11:00. I think everyone had fun. I know I did!

Please take a minute to add a comment here about the lock-in. We would like to do this at least every other month. We need your thoughts and suggestions.

I'll have a poster up in the teen area of the library with the pictures I took later this week. Check it out!

Thanks, guys! You were awesome!
