Space Movie List

I will preface this list by saying that it will most likely change as more titles occur to me. I will try my very best to be thorough, but check back if you need more ideas (or goodness please let me know what I miss). These are mix of ratings and studios so be sure to check what is not only appropriate for your audience but also covered under your movie license.

Yum Yum Candy Bingo!

Valentine's celebrations can only mean one thing for my teens: CANDY!

February Theme

Something new for us with our themes: split themes.

This month we are going for Sweet & Sour.

Snowflake Art

Creative expression is one of my favorite things to build up in children. I think often that adults forget how important art is for kids.

With that in mind, this month we are rolling out Snowflake Art with two options.


Both projects require the same basic supplies:
Canvas
Paint
Brushes
Paint Tray


Project 1
Additional Supply:
Painter's Tape

Steps
Make snowflake shape on the canvas (preferably better than mine).

Paint.

When dry, remove tape.

Project 2
Additional Supplies:
Contact Paper
Snowflake Die Cut or hole punch


Steps
Punch out snowflake shapes in your contact paper and place on canvas.

Paint.


When dry, remove contact paper.

I will say that we much, much prefer Project 2.There was something about it that was just super-fun to create. And because we had a snowman die cut we ended up using that too.

Using Themes

Okay, so confession-I love themes! They just make planning so much easier and delightfully . . . odd.

Kicking off my new year of teen programming means one thing this year: Paul Rudd Appreciation Month!

Special Winter Rule

One thing I do want to share with you is one of the procedures we have in place at our library that another library asked me about.

We do cancel our Youth Programs if our local schools close for weather related conditions.

As soon as we get word the above image gets shared across our social platforms. We prefer to err on the side of safety and tell our families that we would rather they stay safe and read together. We also follow it up with a special message telling them to share with us how they are spending theirsnow day.

Cookies & Quiet: Programs for Parents

What started off as a bit of a joke with parents has evolved into an evening program for parents. Almost any parent can relate to the ordeal of trying to steal some peace & quiet for themselves (let alone one with sweets), so we thought that seemed like a good premise.
