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.

TeenSRC Update and Summer Programs

Only two weeks to go before school is done and you can read what you like! I've picked up the grand prize but I'm keeping it a secret for a little while yet. Our weekly prizes will be a library book bag with some goodies, and a book or dvd of your choice from my box. If you have other ideas, let me know.

When we did the Toilet Paper Prom dresses, I decided that we should do an altered jeans program this summer since the second Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie comes out in August. So hang on to those shabby jeans! We will be having our program on July 17 so we can wear them to the movie in August. I'll bring the paints, glitter, embroidery thread and beads, you bring the pants.

We will also be having a book launch party for Breaking Dawn. I thought earlier might be better than later since I hate it when somebody spoils a book I've been waiting for. We'll get together on July 31, but I'll let you know the details after TeenSRC is underway.

Movie Night! February 22

We will be having a movie night on Friday February 22 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. At our book discussion night we decided on "The Simpson's Movie". I dropped by the website and made this lovely avatar. I've always wanted purple hair. As usual, I'll bring the popcorn, you bring the friends.

If you have any questions, send me a note at kathleen@sapl.ab.ca or 459-1751.

New Year New Books

Well somehow I missed putting this program on the blog and it's tonight! So...if you don't already have big plans, we are getting together from 5-6 p.m. tonight to talk about our favourites from 2007 and what we are looking forward to reading this year. I plan on giving away copies of a few of my favourite books, and of course I'll bring the snacks.

My apologies for the delay in posting. Hopefully you saw it in the newspaper or in the library before this.
