Summer Movies
Air conditioning, soda, and pop-corn. It must be time for summer movies!
When you think about movie tie-ins, think beyond books. For example, with Nancy Drew try: text messages (it's a stolen cell phone mystery), an online game, AOL/Seventeen contest, and of course, the books! (It would be fun to do a mother/daughter nostalgia display of Nancy Drew through the ages.) Vote for your favorite Nancy!
Tie-ins for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer could include: Marvel Comics (this might make another great nostalgia display. Wikipedia has some great info), the official Fantastic Four Wiki, several contests, a screening of the 2005 film, and a trivia contest (see the quotes and trivia on the IMDA)
Tie-ins for the Harry Potter movie and final book are everywhere. Several libraries already have great events planned. We would love to hear about your library event. (Check out the Harry Potter Knight Bus Tour if you will be near one of the scheduled library locations.) |
Prom
Here are a few new ways to celebrate this big event:
- Candy Reeder planned a prom fashion show featuring library pages modeling gowns from a local dress shop. For more details see the Northport-East Northport Teen Page.
- For the gothic romance readers, an Eclipse Prom might be a possibility. This could also be held in August to celebrate the release of Eclipse. See Stephanie Meyer's website for ideas.
- Take advantage of all the hype surrounding Prom Queen with a contest and display of your own. See the Prom Queen site for inspiration. Take a look at this Prom Queen review. Maybe you could create a "message board" to record reviews.
- For those teens who will be driving, here's a great website with a "drive to the prom" online game and a Road Ready sweepstakes.
