  • info Magazine - October 2016
    Posted on: Friday, September 30, 2016

    The month of October has been designated Teen Read Month in celebration of some of our favorite library members. Drawing from a national initiative to get teens to read more, we’ve created a special teen reading program designed to engage and reward teen readers with fun activities and cool digital badges for logging their reading time.

    We’ve also got a full slate of programs to inspire and entertain teens. In addition to science programs involving robotics and experimentation there are craft programs for knitting and creating cosplay gear. For active teens there are several Halloween-themed programs like Plants vs. Zombies, a simulated Zombie Apocalypse, and a sugar skull craft. We’ve also got some great workshops on developing life skills teens won’t want to miss—Navigating Financial Aid, Professionalism for Teens, and Welcome to the Real World. See our events calendar in this issue or search online at metrolibrary.org to find all the exciting programs on offer.

    A is for April and advocacy. On April 12, librarians, library leaders and library supporters join the Oklahoma Library Association to mobilize at the state capitol and meet with Oklahoma legislators about of the importance of having libraries in our communities. Our goal as a library system is to build our communities. We want to impact citizens throughout their entire lifespans. That’s why we continue to morph, stretch and combine our resources with other community organizations to meet the growing needs of a diverse and intelligent community.

    In a New York Times article, San Francisco librarian Luis Herrera wrote, “The public library is a true American invention. Perhaps no other place captures the values of freedom of expression and democracy like this venerable institution. Libraries represent what we should never take for granted: the freedom to read, the freedom to choose and the freedom to share our ideas. The library’s mission to provide free and open access to information in all its myriad formats remains constant.
