The winner for the third week of the YA Guessing Game has been determined. The exact number of blow pops was 66. One young lady's guess was closest at 64. Congratulations to Claire Beatty! Try your luck/skill in guessing the amount of treats in the jar all summer.

Teens and Tots Storytime at the G.C. Pool

Teens and Tots Storytime at the Garden City Pool has started its five week season. All volunteers please remember to arrive at the Gazebo in the picnic area by 1:45 to get organized for the 2 PM start time of the program. Any trained teens who did not sign up but are still interested may contact the Young Adult Librarian and let her know your availability.

Yak & Snack #2

The second meeting of Yak & Snack for Young Adults will be held on Wednesday, August 1st at 7:30 PM. The book to be discussed is The Doom Stone by Paul Zindel. This book was a multi award winner, including the ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers and the New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age. This very suspenseful mystery tells the story of fifteen-year-old Jackson who visits his aunt in England and becomes caught up in a chase to capture an unknown creature who is stalking and killing people on the plains surrounding ancient Stonehenge. Reading this selection should chill you during these dog days. Come to talk about the book and Stonehenge with other YA's and the Young Adult Librarian. Register now at the library or online.
