TAB Meetings Start This Thursday
What do you feel about how the library treats teens and teen programming? What kinds of programs should we have? What are the newest, greatest, best books, graphic novels, video games, and DVDs out there? Is the library too BORING? Help us be cool!
How do you do that? Come to the library’s Teen Advisory Board meetings. We’ll feed you snacks and candy, you help us come up with great ideas. Everybody wins! It all starts Thursday September 24th from 4-5pm in the Teen Lounge on the 3rd floor.
We need your help!

The library needs your help! Looking for some teen volunteers to help out with the Barbie programs at the library on Saturday March 21st! The first program starts at 2pm, and if you’re interested please call Liz in Youth Services at 847-376-2796. It’s guaranteed to be a lot of fun, so please help out!
Happy Valentine’s!
Since Valentine’s Day is a couple of days away, and the library is still running the “What’s your favorite love story?” contest until the 15th, I thought I’d bring the question out here!
Now your answers in the comments section won’t get you a chance to win (sorry!). But I thought it would be fun to see what everyone’s favorite love story/ies is/are. And if you hate love stories, this is your chance to tear them apart!
*BTW, there’s a whole bunch of events happening at the library on Saturday. Romance authors, CHOCOLATE TASTING, romance movie marathon, did I mention the chocolate? Visit www.dppl.org to learn more!
Winter Reading Club
Winter Reading has started at the library! The theme is: Love in the Afternoon. The High School collection is participating too-you can fill out a review of your favorite love story. There are slips available in the collection. Winter Reading runs from today until February 15, so there’s lots of time to submit a review(s). Nothing official has been said about prizes yet, but I think I can get us something!
Movie Preview for Twilight
I know all you guys are excited about the latest Twilight trailer so, fingers crossed, I’ve posted it here. Enjoy!
Remember: DDR this Monday from 2-4 in the Storytime Room. Steven and I are looking forward to it!

Battle of the Books
This is it folks! Battle of the books July 24th at 6pm! Are you ready?
So I thought it would be cool if we had a thread for Battle of the Books. Make sure you let us know:
- Your favorite book
- Your least favorite (thought it would be intresting to see what everyone didn’t like)
- Do you want TAB to hold another Battle of the Books?
- Suggest a Battle of the Book for the next time
This is going to be an awesome battle so if you haven’t finished your books well what are you waiting for? Go and read (post here first!)! Please do not post spoilers here you may only spoil after Battle of the Books. Now I really need to go and read DH(I haven’t started it yet!) have fun!
Battle of the Books was brought to you by TAB a non for profit organization!
JK Thought that would be a funny thing to put at then end of this post.
Awesomely,
Caroline aka Emeraldink
