Teen Summer Reading Challenge

We are now officially into the second week of the #splteensummerreadingchallenge and we are seeing firsthand the energy and creativity of our Teen members.

Last week, we had a very exciting round of Hunger Games Monopoly where the odds were NOT in everyone’s favour, and we also created beautiful travel boards which highlighted the destinations to which we have travelled, as well as those we want to visit, but have yet to experience!

We started this week with a visit from Rosie and Jamie of Shine Bakery, where we learned about gluten-free vegan baking and cupcake decorating. Have you ever heard of a flaxseed egg? Neither had we until Rosie demonstrated it for us! You’ll have to drop by the market and ask her about it.

We look forward to a stiff minute-to-win-it competition day this week and the much anticipated Escape Room challenge this Thursday, July 21, at 6 p.m. Teams of five or less can book their 15-minute escape room appointment at the minute-to-win-it competition. It’s going to be a busy, but exciting week!

New Books

We are just filling up our shelves with so many new books that we don’t have room to shelve them all. Come in and check them…I mean that seriously – in both ways. We have some great reads and are featuring quite a few at Rose’s Book Club next Thursday, July 28 @ 2:00 pm.
