On Friday, November 14, seven members of ULTRA participated in our 3rd Annual Book Buying Field Trip!
In 2006, we shopped at Tatnuck in Westboro (

In 2007 we went to Barnes&Noble in Millbury, and were treated like royalty!
So that's where we returned this year! We were met at the store by the Community Relations Manager, Nevart Asadoorian, who once again gave us First-Class treatment! She treated us to a special tour of the store, introducing ULTRA as "The Teens from Upton Library" to all department staff ... and then served us complimentary snacks in the Cafe ... super-delicious Hot Chocolate and trays of amazing baked goods!! Then members had about 45-minutes to shop for the Library! After making their selections, we all met back at the Cafe and discussed all the books chosen and decided, as a group, what to purchase. A variety of titles were chosen, representing Graphic Novels & Manga, as well as PreTeen Fiction, Young Adult Fiction, non-fiction, Science Fiction and Mystery. Pictured here are just a few of the books selected!The members who represented ULTRA on this excursion were
Will,
Jay,
Charlotte,
Emily K (all 3rd-year participants!) along with
Grant &
Brandon (who also attended last year) and first-time participant,
Lindsey. They all did a great job of choosing books for the library's Young Adult collection! Be sure to look for the sticker that says "Chosen by members of
ULTRA" in the new books, which should be on the shelves later this week!
