Ghost Blog

You have arrived at a ghost blog.

The Bellingham Public Library Teen Space has moved over to www.bellinghampubliclibrary.org and that is where everyone is now. So unless you like the sound of tumbleweeds blowing and dust settling in the wasteland that is this blog, you should probably head over there now.

See you soon. Over there.

Change is coming…

On Monday, April 5, 2010, the Bellingham Public Library Teen Space online will move back over to www.bellinghampubliclibrary.org

You will still find all the information you need about programs, and I hope, much more!

As usual, you are welcome to contact me via email (jlovchik@cob.org) with questions or ideas.

After April 5th, this blog space will be cleaned out and then, eventually deleted, so make sure you change your bookmarks during the month of April.

I know I’ve been negligent in updating this main page. I’ll blame work and leave it at that. My number one library New Year’s resolution will be to get the BPL teen page back onto the main BPL site. How quickly that happens will depend on the completion of some other projects. In the mean time, I’ll try to be more timely in my postings and do my best to make sure that all the events info is up to date.

2009 Stats:
We had 51 programs/events with 475 teen participants!

2010 Changes:
MOVIE NIGHT – first Monday of each month beginning January 4!
Starts at 5:30 in the Lecture Room. Bring snacks.

ADACon (All-day anime & cosplay) – March 20 from 12 to 5 in the Lecture Room
Come watch anime and show off your cosplay creations (great warm up for Sakuracon!)

TANK – new teen advisory/review group begins in March.
Meets the last Monday of the month in the Dodson Room from 4:30 to 6.

See the Events page for a complete breakdown of the coming month or a topic page for more in-depth info.

Thanks to everyone for making 2009 an awesome year for me! I can’t wait for 2010!!

Remember, if you have ANY questions, you can contact me (info on the right).

No no no November

I cannot believe that there are only two months left of 2009. Yikes. I’ve updated the events and individual pages to reflect program dates and times for the rest of the year.

There will be a few changes in 2010, most notably the addition of Movie Night on the first Monday of each month. More info to come.

I will also be shifting the teen site back over the the main BPL website (www.bellinghampubliclibrary.org) over the next couple of months. When the shift actually takes place, you will know.

This month events in order: TAC (11/2), Anime (11/9), SSB Brawl Tourney (11/14), Games Night (11/16), TeensRead (11/30).

syt!

Changes to the library, changes to teen programs!

bplteensread — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 21:23:00 +0000

Anime Night and TAC dates are changing beginning in October!

Due to budget and staff cuts, the library will be cutting some open hours beginning October 1st. (For the full story, check out the press release.) We will be closing at 6pm on Wednesdays, so we have to move Anime Night. And we’re moving TAC night, too.

Monday nights are Teen Nights @ BPL!

TAC is the first Monday of the month

Anime Night is the second Monday of the month

Games Night is the third Monday of the month (this isn’t changing)

Teens Read is the last Monday of the month (this isn’t changing)

Event times are not changing!

Ending so soon? and Let’s Fight!

Teen Summer Reading is coming to an end. There is a little less than a week left to enter to win a weekly prize. So far, 60 teens have turned in 287 reviews. I will draw the last weekly prize the week of August 10. Fine forgiveness runs through the end of the month, so the grand prize drawing will take place the first week of September. Three grand prize winners will receive a summer reading t-shirt, two passes to Regal Cinemas and a Target gift card. The more reviews you enter, the better your chances to win.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament this Saturday, August 8. Sign-up begins at 1pm, tournament begins at 1:30 sharp. You must be between 12 and 18 to win prizes. Prizes courtesy of Reset Games. Refreshments courtesy of Little Caesars and the Friends of the Bellingham Library. It’s gonna be a BLAST!
