Events for Teens
MEET THE AUTHOR:
Andrew Varga!!
Tuesday, July 12th @ 3pm
Meet Andrew Varga, the author/historian behind the incredibly popular new series of YA novels, A Jump In Time. Join us in the rotary room where the author will present “A Time Traveller’s Guide to 1066.” What was it like to live as a Saxon in pre-Medieval Europe? What did people eat? How did they dress? What apps were they using on their smartphones? With actual historical artifacts and his trademark sense of humour, Andrew Varga will take you back in time to an age of marauding Vikings and invading clans. There will even be a Q&A with the author and a chance to purchase a signed copy of his book, The Last Saxon King.
This is a free event for tweens and teens ages 10-18, registration is not required.
TEEN OPEN MIC NIGHT!!
Tuesday, August 8th @ 7pm
Join other teens for a coffee-house style Open Mic Night at the library! Bring a song, poem, short story, or something else you’ve written and share it with the rest of the group; or, if you would rather sit in the audience to support your friends, that is totally cool, too! There will be free snacks, warm beverages and excellent company!
This is a free event for teenagers age 13-18, registration is not required.
