And the Winner is...

Congratulations to Kelsey B. who won the grand prize Flip Video camera at last night's TeenSRC wind up party! There were only 16 names in the draw so the odds were pretty impressive.

We had lots of snacks (and way too much candy), played some Scattergories and talked books. Everyone who was at the party went home with a prize as well, just for showing up!

Here's some summer reading statistics to impress your parents:
Number of St. Albert teens signed up on TeenSRC: 53
Number of Reviews posted: 115!
Number of people in the final draw: 16

It has been a great year for the Summer Reading Club and I'm sorry to see it end. The website will be rebranded and put back up in September so if you haven't had enough yet, you can continue to post on the TeenRC site all year. Sorry no prizes :(

If you are looking for something new to do this September, why not join the Teen Advisory Board? I'm always looking for new ideas, opinions and suggestions for teen services here in the library. Our next meeting will be Thursday September 18 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. Times and dates after that will be determined by YOU. If you have any questions, call me at 780-459-1751.

Breaking Dawn Party Pics

What a great party! We had fun speculating on what will happen in Breaking Dawn, made some fabulous vampire glitter gel and enjoyed some challenging trivia questions. Actually, the trivia questions weren't quite as challenging as I had thought. Our devoted fans whipped through the questions in no time and only got stumped twice in 40 questions! We had some real Twiheads who have read the book in excess of 10 times as well as some that are just finishing up the series. It was actually difficult to get people to play on Team Jacob for the trivia challenge, poor guy seems to get no love from anyone! At the end of the night we gave away a special edition copy of Eclipse, and the lucky winner was very happy since she didn't own any of the books and had been borrowing from a friend. Congratulations! Here are a few pictures of the event.
