January's TeenTuesday

Happy New Year, Everyone!
Quick reminder that this month's TeenTuesday will be held on the 16th, and that our discussion of the book Flipped got postponed from last month, so that will be happening this time. There are still a couple of copies on reserve at the Library, so please pick one up at the circulation desk if you'd like to read it before the 16th! We also need to work on the ULTRA bulletin board display, (you can kinda see the bulletin board in the background of this picture) so bring your ideas along w/any pictures (photos or original artwork) and book reviews, etc. to put on there. Thanks to all of you who have contributed to the display so far! Thanks, also, to those of you who keep the graphic novels slatwall organized! Great job!

Be sure to check out the pictures of the ULTRA Gingerbread House!!
Hope to see you all soon!
