What's on deck for April?
With April comes National Poetry Month, and we have two programs to celebrate!
The first is a poetry contest, and it will run all throughout the month.
Coloring and Cookies came from the advice of SPLAT, so
let's make it a success! Stop by for lots of different coloring pages,
some cookies, and good company!
Also on the advice of SPLAT, we have renamed the Teen Lounge the After-school Hangout, and that will be on April 13th. Come in for candy sushi and book spine poetry!
SPLAT is where you can make a difference in your library. Join the team and let me know what YOU want.
The first is a poetry contest, and it will run all throughout the month.
The second is a poetry slam (basically, a spoken word poetry contest) and that will be on April 20th. Space will be limited, so if you want to perform, please sign up at the reference desk!

What I'm Reading Right Now!
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. The first book in the Reckoners series, which depicts a post-apocalyptic world in which the appearance of an orbiting object has given random people superhuman powers in apparent defiance of known physical laws, turning them into Epics. These powers have caused most of them to prey upon or enslave the rest of humanity, causing the collapse of traditional governments. One teenage boy who was orphaned by a High Epic joins an elite underground resistance movement. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black. Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. And once you pass through Coldtown's gates, you can never leave.
One morning, after a perfectly
ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other
survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing
ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened
with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race
against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how:
by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself.
