Summer Reading Book Reviews

This is the place where you can post/send your book reviews. All you need to do is click on the "comment" button and let the world know your opinion...about a book! Think about how many stars you would give it(1=really bad, 4=couldn't put it down!).
Then, give a brief description and review of the book. (4-5 sentences minimum, please.) Every time you post or turn in a book review, you can be entered into the drawing for a bicycle. So, at the end of your review add your name and age and I will put an entry into the bike drawing for you. I will edit your reviews and only post them with your first name. You can also stop by the library and pick up a paper book review form. The more reviews you submit, the greater your chance to win a bike. Start writing your reviews on Monday, June 27.

"WHERE'S MY LIFE... BOAT"

Interactive theatre performance and community dialogue

Facilitated by Marc Weinblatt

The culmination of a week-long workshop with area high school students, this play explores teen life, apathy, and other obstacles along the journey. Structured as participatory Forum Theatre, the audience will be invited to problem solve with the cast in how to live one's dreams in the face of limiting social messages. Both educational and fun. The cast includes Kai Addae, Molly Brown, Colin Cabe, Josie Juntara, Shawn Kellogg, and Raven McMillen. This project is inspired by the teen novel, Thirteen Reasons Why, by Jay Asher and is sponsored by the PT Library with a generous grant from the Paul Allen foundation. Saturday, April 16 7-9pm @ the Masonic Hall 1338 Jefferson (by the post office)
