Shelve It!, TeensRead and a Twilight movie

November 21, 2008 · 1 Comment

G’day to all. Just wanted to let everyone know a few things:

1. The Fall 2008 Shelve It! is online. If you need a good book for over the holiday breaks, this is a goo place to start. You might also want to check out back issues (the books are more likely to be checked in at the library). Click on ”Shelve It” at the top of the screen for older issues of the newsletter.

2. TeensRead, Bellingham’s own teen book discussion group will meet next Monday, from 6:30 to 7:30pm in the Dodson Room in the Children’s Library to talk about the book Fat Kid Rules the World  by K.L. Going

3. If you happen to be attending the 7pm showing of Twilight at the Sunset Square Theaters on Friday 11/21 (it’s sold out), you’ll have a chance to win copies of the Twilight books by answering Twilight trivia! I will be there at 6:30 along with Whatcom County Library staff to present trivia and prizes! I look forward to hearing what you all have to say about the movie, !

Melee Madness recap

November 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Last Saturday’s Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament was a great success with 25 teens battling it out over 4 1/2 hours to determine who would win a gift card generously donated by Reset Games. 72 sodas later (I am not kidding you), Pain came out on top as the winner of the $30 gift card. Fatman came in second and won the $20 card, while Hans finished a solid third and laid claim to the $10 card. Well played everyone!

Our next tournament will be in February and will feature a game that is not Super Smash Brothers. Stay tuned!

More details on the Melee Tournament

Here is an update on the two most important parts of this Saturday’s tournament: prizes and food. (Okay, gameplay is important, too…)

PRIZES – once again RESET GAMES is generously supplying our prizes for the tournament. Top three finishers will get gift cards to Reset Games!

FOOD – there will be no pizza this time (boo!) but there will be sweets and snacks and soda. So don’t fear, munchies will be had.

I hope to see all you gamers on Saturday for some serious Melee action!
