summer kickoff photos
Thank you to Dave Curry from
Drums for One and All who helped us Kick Off Summer with a Sunday afternoon Drumming Circle on June 22nd! All participants had a chance to try several of his percussion instruments, imagining themselves around a tribal campfire or creating a sudden storm deep in the Amazon forest.

Scratch
Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web! Scratch was developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, in collaboration with the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. Explore the galleries, projects and forums - to start, just click here!

teen advisory board
The Teen Advisory Board held its last meeting of the school year on May 14th, honoring outgoing senior Anugraha Raman for her participation as a member over the past two years. Anu has helped with programs, additions to the YA collection and even the design of our TAB t-shirt! She has chosen a collection of plays by Tom Stoppard to be added to the library's collection with a bookplate in her honor. We wish her all the best in the future, and will greatly miss her!
The Teen Advisory Board will resume monthly meetings in September. New members are always welcome, please join us!
