I was so pleased to see our teens at Blue Ridge come out for Teen Movie Night last Friday! The kids got together, watched the movie, Beat Street, and tagged a mini subway car to kick off the Teen Summer Reading Program.
Let me be the first to say that these kids killed it! Our subway car was completely covered with throwies and tags, and I couldn’t be happier with hanging it in our teen area for all to see.
It’s here kids, so get the books you want to read this summer and get to it! We are kicking off this year’s summer reading program on Saturday, May 25 from 1-5 p.m. at the Blue Ridge Branch.
We will have open-ended crafts for kids, and we’ll show you how to get registered for the Summer Reading Program.
Thursday’s Mystery Book Club discussed The Complaints by Ian Rankin. This book introduces us to Malcolm Fox. He’s a detective working in the complaints, which is the equivalent to internal affairs here in the U.S. He’s given the assignment to investigate Officer Jamie Breck. Just as he starts looking into Breck, Fox gets a phone call…from Breck.
Grab a friend and head over to the Blue Ridge Branch for Teen Movie Night on Friday, May 17th at 4 p.m.
Our feature flick will be Beat Street, and we’ll have a miniature subway car for kids to tag with markers. So, bring your creative skills and show your friends what your graffiti is made of!
Feel free to RSVP online or by calling us here at the Blue Ridge Branch.
One of our staff members, Lacy, recently pointed out that May is National Get Caught Reading Month, and this got my brain to wondering (or trying to remember) what books have I read that involve getting caught. Or perhaps, not getting caught…

Yes, you guessed it! The author is Robert B. Parker. He passed away on January 18, 2010. Below are the four series I was thinking of. Oh, and the TV series was, of course, Spenser for Hire.
