Duct Tape & Tie-Dye!

Hey, teens, this Tuesday, June 8th, make yourself a new wallet using just duct tape! Or if tape wallets aren't your thing, on Thursday, June 10th,  bring a plain white t-shirt and try your hand at sharpie tie-dye! It's fun and easy! Both crafts start at 4:30 PM in the downstairs meeting room. And don't forget next week! We've got a movie on Tuesday and Henna on Thursday (permission slip needed for Henna).  Check with Ms. Sunni in the teen room for a program flyer. And be on the lookout for our gaming competitions! There will be several over the summer months.

Summer is Here, Teens!

Summer is here, teens, and have we got plans for you!  If you haven't already, stop by The Hideout upstairs and sign up for the Teen Summer Reading Program.  Also, pick up a flyer while you're at it!  Ms. Sunni has plenty of stuff for you to do, so there's no reason for you to be bored here at the library!  If you're between 12-18, join us Tuesday, June 8th, for Duct Tape Crafts and Thursday, June 10th, for Sharpie tie-dye.  Both programs start at 4:30 PM. Sharpie tie-dye requires you to bring your own white t-shirt (and no, you can't use the one you are wearing). Both programs will be held in the large meeting room downstairs.  Don't miss out on the fun!

Video of the Library's Grand Opening

Did you miss the Grand Opening ceremony for the library on April 19th?  No problem!  We've got it on video right here for you.  The first part is below, and the rest of the ceremony videos are at our YouTube channel here!

Adult Summer Reading Program!

If you thought the summer reading program was only for kids and teens, think again!  Adults, if you're looking forward to catching up on your reading this summer, then be sure to register for ReaderNation, our adult summer reading program!  Registration begins on Friday, June 4th, and ends Saturday, August 7th.  Visit us in person or register online at www.hcpl.net and read and log at least four titles before Saturday, August 14th.  After that, besides having enjoyed the reward of reading a good novel or two, you've made yourself eligible for a bookstore gift card as a prize!  Make the most of your love of reading this summer and register for ReaderNation!

Summer plans, Teens?

Hey, teens, what are you up to this summer?  If you haven't figured that out yet, come up to the Hideout and take a look at what we've got going on!  Ms. Sunni has got a bunch of special programs and activities lined up, and we've put the info all in one place.  If you're the type who likes to plan ahead, or if you just want to be surprised to find out that the library can actually be a cool place to be, come up and grab a Texas Teens Read program flyer to see what's happening during the next several months!
