Teen Lock-In
Twelve teens came to the Lock-In on Thursday, Aug. 2, and survived to tell about it! Each teen made a Zombie Feltie of their own design to take home.
We enjoyed a delicious meal of sloppy joes, chili dogs, or nachos. Everyone was very excited to watch our “Own the Night” video for the first time at midnight. The video was a big project and everyone involved worked very hard to make sure it was a success. Stay tuned for information on how to view the video from our website!
Then it was time for miniature golf, balloon volleyball in the stacks and twister. We watched some movies and had popcorn and candy. Most of the teens stayed up all night, having lots of fun. After a quick clean up and breakfast, some very sleepy teens were picked up by their parents at 8 a.m. Friday morning. The brave adults supervising the Lock-In were Maureen Haab, Tina Meerzo and Julie Frew, who also had fun and survived!
Library Closed
The library will be closed on Monday, September 3 for Labor Day. The library will re-open at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4.
