TAG! (Teen Advisory Group)

Friday, December 9, 2022 - 2:00pm

 

Go ahead. Boss us around.

TAG is open to teens and tweens in grades 6-12. Members will help with planning teen library events, choosing books/movies/video games/etc. for the teen and middle grade collections, and decorating the children's area. Plus,  recommend and review books and movies, eat snacks, and more all while earning volunteer hours.

Upcoming meetings on North Scott's early-out Fridays at 2pm: Jan. 13th, Feb. 10th, March 3rd, April 7th, & May 12th.

Scholastic Book Fair

Wednesday, December 7, 2022 to Wednesday, December 14, 2022

Shop for holiday gifts or treat yourself–every purchase supports the library! The fair is open at the Eldridge branch from Dec. 7th-14th, during library hours. Or, shop the fair online: https://bit.ly/sclsfair 

Help us reach our goal of $3,600 in sales! Reaching our goal gives us the maximum reward benefits from Scholastic, in the form of Scholastic Dollars. The library uses Scholastic Dollars to purchase reward books for reading challenges (Summer Reading Program!) and for the circulating collection. The more we earn, the more books we can get in the hands of our community's children.
