Mon., Feb. 13, 4-6:30 PM, library's Greenfield Banking Co. Community Rm. BRegister online.

Tues., Feb. 14, 4-6:30 PM, New Palestine. Register online.

Escape the mushiness! Come to an un-valentine party. Munch on snacks, make roses out of duct tape (supplies provided), and watch an unromantic movie about teens in a small town who shoot their own movie in 1979. What they capture on film during a screaming metal train wreck is decidedly inhuman (PG-13).

TEEN AFTER-SCHOOL GAMES

Wed., Feb. 22, 4-6 PM, library's Greenfield Banking Co. Community Rm.  Register online.

Warm up after school with friends. We've got video games on larger-than-life screens and all your favorite board games.

TEENS KINECT
Thurs., Feb. 23, 3:30-5:30 PM, New Palestine. Register online.
Play a variety of motion games using Xbox Kinect. Players become the controller--literally. Move, and your avatar mirrors you on the screen from a fantasy location. With "Adventures," jump, dodge, and kick through roaring rapids, challenging obstacle courses, or a leaky underground laboratory. "Just Dance," lets you own the floor with 4-player dancing over 45 tracks.
