BREAK UP
contest
|
Breaking up is hard! And no one knows this better than Daniel Handler. This month's contest features a copy of his latest book: Why We Broke Up, a set of magnets featuring images from the book, and a stack of "Why we broke up " response postcards. Post a break up story (your own or someone else's) on our Facebook page and you will be automatically entered in the Why We Broke Up gift pack contest. It's nice to know that at least one good thing can come from a painful breakup.

Teen Tech Week
|  Time to start planning to "Get Your Geek On". Teen Tech Week is coming the week of March 4-10. YALSA's Ning page states: "This year's theme encourages libraries to throw open their physical and virtual doors to teens and showcase the outstanding technology they offer, from services such as online homework help and digital literacy-focused programs to resources like e-books, movies, music, audiobooks, databases and more." |
SMILE and the World Smiles with You
|  Congratulations to Colleen Cheshire. She found a smile waiting for her on her desk . Kudos also to Kim Zettwock. Her dog Charles created his own special smile (and you thought dogs couldn't smile). They both won a SMILE t-shirt signed by Raina Telgemeier.
Thanks Jen Griffing for posting the two smiles she found at the South Huntington Library. Stay on the alert for more smiles and new contests from Teen Direct.
