Got the February blahs? Ready to just hibernate until spring? We have the cure! Get your creativity revved up and bring it to the Library.
February 19 - 7:00 -8:00 pm Teen Advisory Board Meeting
We need some creative minds to come up with a plan for the Rodeo parade. We also need a suggestion for our suggestion box for the corner. No plain Lucite box for us! Maybe we'll use our ninja craft skills and make something that night? We also have a little problem with the Fear Factor event we planned for March - no live animals, no mold and we have so many allergy issues to watch for that we will have to, sigh, cancel it. Now we need an alternate plan.
February 21 - 1:00 - 4:00 pm - Teen Writing Workshop with Author Don Trembath.
I know there are lots of great writers out there who would like to polish their skills in this workshop. We had local author Don Trembath here at the Library two years ago and the participants all wanted to come back the next month! If you like to write, please take the time to try this out. No horrible embarassment, no marks, no pressure. Writing is fun when you do it just for yourself.
FAQ:
Do I have to be library member? No, but you do have to register before the program.
How do I register? Call the Adult Reference Desk at 780-459-1682.
Can I bring a friend? Of course, just make sure they registered!
What if I don't know anybody! No worries, everybody else is just like you, there because they like to write.
If you still have questions, call Kathleen at 780-459-1751.

Creative Writing Workshop
Wow, my first post on the SAPL Teen Corner Blog! As you can see, I'm Kelci, and I'm part of the Teen Advisory Board here at the Library. We always welcome new members if this tickles your fancy!
Anyway, back to the point. On Saturday, April 14, I met an author. Award-winning teen author Don Trembath was in town conducting an interactive Creative Writing Workshop for teens! (Turns out authors are just like regular people! Who knew?) With Don leading the way, all 17 of us created and meticulously described a house, a character, and concluded our three hour journey by composing a dialogue between our character and one that another student had created. We were instructed to "write as we speak" and generate a conversation where our character was trying to sell the house we dreamed up. I thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in a bit of relaxing writing for the afternoon, and one can’t forget about all the scrumptious snacks! All it all, it was a great time, and I look forward to similar events in the future. Many thanks to Kathleen and Don for volunteering their time to create a fun-filled afternoon for us kids!
