| As
our first Sky Camp program, she will artfully tell stories as if she were
various female aviators! I’ve never seen anything like it!
For
the month of May, Anime Fans United (Anime Club) will have two meetings,
and then end for the months of June, July and August. But not to worry!
We’ll have Anime Nights as part of Teen Summer Reading, and starting
in September, twice-a-month meetings of Anime Fans United! (Sorry, no
Yu-Gi-Oh or other card games please). Each meeting will feature an episode
of anime and discussion of your fave books, movies, or whatever you collect
related to Japanese pop culture! Food will be served!
Also, be sure to look for TAC and Visual Arts Group dates for May through
August! We’ll be here!
We’re winding down the school year, which means I’m winding
up by planning a kickin’ summer reading program. This summer, we’re
“TEENREAD NY 2004: Read White and Blue!” Look for the return
of the bingo cards, along with a few of last year’s events, such
as Ductigami, book discussion groups (I’m looking for titles everyone’s
talking about that you may have not yet read!) and Battle of the Books!
We’ll also be doing workshops on bookmaking, making you own ice
sculptures, anime nights, and…drum roll please…our three-day
SKY CAMP! Sky Camp will feature programs and presenters all about aeronautics!
Rest assured, members and future members of the Teen Advisory Committee,
TAC will meet during the summer! Anyone interested in joining will be
able to sign up when signing up for TEENREAD NY 2004! It’s an opportunity
to have your say in what goes on at YOUR library! Sign ups begin June
21st! Get there early to sign up for teen events! (All teen SRC events
are open to those going into grades 6 through 12).
During June, I’ll see you in the schools as I pump up this summer’s
events! As always, keep stopping by to say hey! It always makes my day!
Later,
Trev

I’m the new librarian who works for you. I am here to entertain, and
to help. I am not here to grade or judge. Overall, in many ways, I am here
to listen. Worried about a paper? Talk
to me. Seeing
as I have many interests that range from
playing the cello, fishing, auto racing, comics, etc. I think you’ll
be surprised that something you’re interested in is something I like as
well, and it’s what I think helps me to be a better librarian every
day—being able to know a little bit about a lot of
subjects.
And I hope you will come to find that I am a good helper and keep coming
up with fun stuff to do here, so it’s not always just about the books.
If you think I need to improve something, let me know and I’ll work on
it.
Lastly, and here’s my plug, I can only do so much for you as one person
can, but when many people come together to evoke change, you will get
so much more, so seriously, check out at least one Teen Advisory Committee
meeting (come on, give an hour of your time talking about what you want
to happen around here and I promise you, you won’t be sorry!).
So,
if you ever have any questions give me a call at my desk. The number is
456-2400 extension 40. Or, if it’s easier, I check my email a lot, so
mail me at oakleyt@uhls.lib.ny.us
I’ll try my best to respond quickly!
See
you ‘round.
