CONGRATULATIONS to all of the lucky Teen Summer Reading prize-winners! If you've won, you'll know, as phone calls were made on Friday, August 7.
Bummed out that you didn't win? Not all the prizes have been handed out. There's still the awesome limo ride and 6 tickets to Kennywood Park! This is a county-wide prize, so the way to win is to fill out the Summer Reading survey found here. There's also a link on the righthand side of the blog. Your feedback is valuable as is the prize you could win just for taking a couple of minutes to give us a piece of your mind!
Head down to the library Friday night, July 24 from 7 to 8:30 pm for some intense Wii challenging! We'll have two Wiis, three possible Wii games to go head-to-head against your friends (Guitar Hero, MarioKart, and Wii Sports), and loads of board games for those who just want to come, hang out, and watch. The winner will take home the coveted GameStop gift card, along with respect and bragging rights. It's single elimination, so bring your A-game. Don't forget to register by calling the library at (412) 882-5694, clicking here, or emailing Jess (hoptayj@einetwork.net).
There's still time to sign up for our Make-Your-Own Mini-Scrapbooks program! On Wednesday, July 1, scrapbooking expert Amy Hoptay will be teaching us how to make our very own squashbooks.

This one's for all teens entering grades 6-12.
It's officially that time of year--school's about to end, the pool is open, and the temperature is climbing. Start your summer off right by stopping over at the library to sign up for our Teen Summer Reading Program. It's easy; it's painless; and there are awesome prizes!
Don't forget that coming to a program earns you an extra raffle ticket! Winners will be pulled at the official end of Summer Reading, August 7.

Don't forget to look for me at the Brentwood Middle School on Monday, May 18 (if you're in 6th grade, I'll see you there) and Wednesday, May 20 (if you're in 7th & 8th grade, I'll be chatting to you all).
There's so much to look forward to, friends. So BE EXCITED!
Now that April's over, we're moving on to the month of May. Because I'll be doing a lot of school visits for Summer Reading, our activities have slowed down to just the regular stand-by: The Rec Room! It's still open from 3-4:30 pm every Monday that school is in session, so for this month, that means:
The very last Rec Room for the summer will be Monday, June 1, and it's worth your while to stop by because there may be some awesome freebees!
Keep your eyes out for the Summer Reading Flyer, which will have all the programs for teens entering grades 6-12. It'll be posted to this blog very soon!
Teen Rec Room -- As always, you can come hang out Mondays from 3-4:30 after school in the Rec Room. There are snacks for sale (cheap!), plus there's the pool table, basketball, ping pong, air hockey, and foosball! *Note: We'll be closed April 13 due to the Brentwood Schools being closed.
If you missed our gaming tournament this past Friday night, don't worry! We'll be doing gaming after school on Tuesday, March 17 (St. Patrick's Day!) from 3-4 pm. The PlayStation and the Wii will be set up.
Even though we're closed this Monday, February 16 for Rec Room, there's FREE GAMING on Tuesday, February 17 after school from 3-4 pm for grades 6-8! We'll have the Wii and the PlayStation set up, along with the addition of (hopefully) our DDR mat! Stop by and hang out--no need to register for this one.
"Why so serious?" Relax, wear a smile, and watch Heath Ledger's famed portrayal of The Joker in "The Dark Knight." Appropriate movie snacks will accompany the screening of the film. Please note that "The Dark Knight" is rated PG-13. Movie for those in grades 6 and up and will be shown on Friday, January 30 at 7:00 pm. Registration required.
