Bring your friends (very important!!!!!), get your time cards, and start reading! Now that school is over, we have all the time in the world, right?
riiiiight.
See you there.
If you know of a book you want in our department, click here and fill out this form. We get 25 submissions a month (unless someone wants to pay $9.99 per month for more… not me.) so don't spam us.
If you are a writer… submit your writing at Ink-pop. We get the magazine and they may print your writing! In fact, they may pay you… but don't quote me on that.
Anime—zment (spelling?) is in Raleigh weekend of the 28-30th. Krissy isn't saying we have to go, she just said that it exists.
1776 is currently being performed at the theatre! Go visit.
School Visits: If you want Krissy to come to your school, TELL HER.
Summer Reading Program: Monday June 14-July 26, 4:-5:30.
WE ARE DOING THE VIDEO CONTEST AGAIN!!!!!! The theme for SRP is MAKE WAVES at your library. 10 minutes or less, prizes will be GOOD… so yeah. Get as many people as you can to help you and participate! Deadline is July 8th.
T-shirts will be heather grey or black, because it'll work with the paint.
Crafts for SRP: Duct-tape book bag, Bottle-cap pins, Possibly sand art, cute little creatures,
No meetings for TRAIN through summer. The next meeting is in September.
For anyone who doesn’t know, the lock in is a fun event that we host about twice a year. We hang out and eat junk food and watch movies until the wee hours of the morning.
And it’s free.
Just sayin’.
We had a good turnout this time! I think we had 23 or 24 people.
If any of you get the chance, thank Pizza Hut for giving us a tremendous amount of free pizza.
Here’s some pics that I took. If you have some you want added, e-mail them to me at the e-mail at the bottom of the post.
If anyone else took pics, e-mail them to me (haleymathiot@yahoo.com) and I’ll get them posted up here ASAP.

Krissy was in a good mood this week. She bought a black t-shirt she liked, then went back and bought four more. We love Krissy. :D
Krissy’s birthday is next Saturday!
Collection Development: we have bought more books! If you have more suggestions, e-mail them. If you have movie ideas, send them also. For YA, it has to be PG-13 or below.
Book Club: We would love for you to come to book club, even if it’s just for a few minutes!
Mardi Gras: March 1, 6-8. The tickets are free, but you need to get your ticket! Talk to your friends and get them to come! We need volunteers to “help set up” which really means hang out. so why would you say no?
Video Sales: We have waaaay to many video TAPES. No seriously. We’re going to be selling them on March 25-27th
“Make Waves at your Library!” is the theme for SRP. We need artwork. Get inspired. We’re really liking dark heather grey with white writing. So start drawing.
Caron Day (Lock In)—April 10th We all love Caron so much that we planned an entire event around his returning to America for the weekend… But our numbers need to go up, and we need to bring a friend. We need to think about what kind of food we want to eat. leave a comment. 6-foot sub? sushi? Chinese food? pbj and goldfish. We also need movies: It may be the last over-12-year-old lock in… so let’s find a good movie? But nothing that will scare Krissy.
Everyone needs to join Jim Chittick Survivor so that Jim can be on Survivor!
SRP begins on June 14th!
