Marion Library News for Teens

Anime Club
Monday, January 4, 4 - 5:30 p.m.

Join us in Meeting Room A every month to hang out with other people who love anime as we watch shows and eat Japanese snacks.

This month, stay until the end to enter a drawing for a bento box set!

Anime Club meets the first Monday of each month. Mark your calendars for the next meeting on February 1!

Game Day!

Wednesday, January 20, 3:30 - 5 p.m.

Stop by after school to play video games and board games in Meeting Room A. We've got Mario Kart, Minecraft, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Dance Central, Guitar Hero, Twister, Apples to Apples, and lots more!

Do you play Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic the Gathering, or another card game? Bring your friends and stake out a corner of the room for an epic game.

Share Your Art in the Library

We want musicians, artists, dancers, and anyone who wants to use the library lobby to share their art with the world. Want to set up an easel and paint, letting people watch who walk by? Want to do a preview of your ballet recital or your violin performance? Talk to us!

If you'd like to paint, draw, play music, sing, dance, or otherwise share your interest in the arts, just send an email to PerformanceSpace@marionpubliclibrary.org
and let us know what date and time you'd like to come. We provide the space, you provide the arts! We'll also do a little promotion for you at our website and Facebook page.

Come in, create, and share in the library!

Tiny Houses:

The Charm of Living Small

A fascinating afternoon with Greg Johnson, President of the Small House Society, who will give a presentation on the trend toward smaller living, and the popularity of tiny houses. There will be time for questions and answers, as well as discussion. We have a feeling you'll leave feeling both charmed and inspired -- and maybe you'll want to try living small.

Take and Make

Stuck at the library, waiting for a ride? Need something to do on a rainy day? When you're bored, look on the little table in the Teen area for crafts, word games, coloring pages, and more! Make it at the library, or take it home, your choice.

Check out the display in the Teen area or reserve one of our picks below. Find even more suggestions on the Teen Reads section on the library's website.

Little Free Library for Teens

Have you found the Little Free Library filled with books for Teens? It's on the far side of the library's east parking lot, next to the daycare.

What's a Little Free Library? It's a great way to get books totally free (no checkouts, no fines!) and to share books you no longer want. Give a book, take a book. All free!

Book a Trip:

Year-Round Reading Program

This all-ages reading program couldn't be easier: just pick up a log and start reading. Check off each state as you read a book that either takes place in that state, is about that state, or is by an author who is from that state. You can read fiction or non-fiction. We've got suggested books for each state, or pick out your own!

As you check off each state, get a dot at the Information Desk to mark your progress on our map. When you've read a book from all 50 states, pick up a special prize! Find more information on the Book a Trip page on our website.
