I had fun, what about you?

Between the singing, the dancing, the hiding (and the seeking), and the ever-popular flag capturing--our Teen Lock-in had many tired feet walking out the door at 7 AM this past Saturday. If you missed it, there is always next year. And I for one, think I am up for it and will be a whole lot more coordinated for it. But even with all the fun that was had...they can only get better if I hear from the group. So leave comments about your favorite part of the lock-in as well as anything you didn't like--

Lock-In Information

It is that time of year again...Teen Lock-in at the Central Library. The lock in will be on April 2 from 8pm-7am. Please tell your friends and get them to register. The registration should be up by Friday afternoon and you will be able to come in and pick up your permission slips anytime after Friday afternoon.

I hope you are all doing well....I can't wait to see everyone!

Holiday Parade

The Great Bridge Holiday Parade is on Saturday December 5. TAG members will be meeting at the parade site, which is Great Bridge Middle School (soccer field). You will see the Library Bookmobile there. You have to arrive before 6:30. The roads will close around that time, I will try and find out what time exactly the roads close. Everyone must be wearing RED or GREEN sweatshirts/sweaters/coats. This is holiday red and green, not neon green or pale pink. The library will be providing the Santa hats, if you already have a nice one, feel free to wear it.
This is a mandatory event, everyone must attend. If you are unable to, then I will need to have a note from your parents excusing you.

Any questions, please ask.
