Hunger Games, the Book

     Hunger Games, the Movie

          Hunger Games, the Wyckoff Library Party!

 Tributes, you are invited to attend
this festive triumph,
the HUNGER GAMES PARTY.

On 22 March 2012 at 6:00 - 8:00, twenty lucky teens 12 - 18 years of age will be enjoying the festivities so contact your Teen Librarian, Barbara, ASAP to secure a spot.
It will be EPIC !
A stellar turnout last night for the first 2012 TEEN ADVISORY GROUP meeting, as nine Wyckoff teens (and one Lorax!) and I enjoyed each others company, as well as great snacks and maybe even a cup of Joe (through the generosity of our local Dunkin' Donuts!)

We're planning a party (among other things), so watch this space as events unfold.

Thanks to everybody who attended!  I hope you all enjoyed it as much as your Teen Librarian did.

 So back to that party:  hold the date March 22 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM here at the Library!  (Just sayin'. . .)

FAULT IN OUR STARS

A new book from the award winning (and popular favorite) John Green!
We followed him as he went LOOKING FOR ALASKA,  watched him deal with AN ABUNDANCE OF CATHERINES, but now he takes on a brand new challenge.

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is a tenderly constructed novel about one of life's most brutal challenges.  The book's heroine, Hazel, is battling cancer with a fierce sense of humor, as only John Green could imagine.  A fine mixture of comedic pathos, this novel touches every nerve, and serves up a deliciously improbable romance in the telling.
