Mario Kart Tournament Thursday!

Tomorrow is the Mario Kart tournament from 4 to 6! It's on the old-school Gamecube and every kid and teen can drop in and enter! There will also be Guitar Hero and Halo 3 for kids to play, too.

Mario Kart Tournament Wins with Kids!/ Why do people like Twilight?

Thanks to all the kids who showed up for the tournament and to play Guitar Hero Metallica! Pictures will be up soon, I promise. I know I haven't done my Book of the Week in a while, but I've been busy with gaming and adult books ( Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell is meh, The Defining Moment by Jonathan Alter is great), but I am reading Twilight for a book club discussion and it's mediocre at best. I can see why teens girls swoon over Edward Cullen, but should girls fall in love with an obsessive vampire? Maybe I'm wrong or judging too soon, but it's no great literature, like Octavian Nothing and it's not even great fun trash like Gossip Girl. Can you Twilight fans tell me why you love the books so much?

Gaming Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday!

There will be gaming at the library Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week! Come play Guitar Hero Metallica Wednesday from 1-3, Mario Kart Thursday from 4-6 and win prizes in a championship, and Wii Sports Friday at 3;30!

Movie and Games Tuesday!

I want you all to come out today to see Camp Rock at 1 and come to the Uno championship at 6:30 tonight. Plus, there's still tome to sign up for the Mario Kart Double Dash tournament Thursday at 4!

I hope you kids are enjoying your spring break and will enjoy it more at the library! I want all of you to come by for the programs we're having every day. Today, it's board games from 1-3 and a DDR championship from 4-6! Come beat your friends or cheer on your classmates! There's also Guitar Hero Metallica Wednesday, a Mario Kart championship Thursday and Wii Sports Friday! Plus, there are lots of great new graphic novels to read, too. See you at the library this week!
