This program is held on the first Wednesday of each month for tweens and teens 11-18 years of age. They can enjoy board games, VR headsets, coloring sheets, puzzles, snacks and more. Teens are invited to stop by the next Teen Time Game Day on November 4th to explore and make suggestions for other engaging events to have for tweens and teens here at the library. Virgle, a sixth grader from Hayes Cooper Center, was chosen as the G.O.A.T. for yesterday’s Teen Time Game Day. Congratulations Virgle!”

“Today, September 25th, we had Alphabet B Storyhour theme,” Mrs. Bobbie reports. “I shared that my name starts with B, wore my rain Boots, and Bunny ears with my pet Bumble Bee named Beethoven. Then, the children shared their Band-Aids, stuffed Bunny, Bully the Bulldog, a Big Black Beetle, Bullseye from Toy Story, a toy sheep, the sound “Baa”, and one even brought his Big Brother Baron. After I read the books “It’s My Bird-Day” and “Farm Boots,” we made a Beautiful Blue Bird for a craft to take home.”
