Since the libraries were closed for snow when we were suppose to have our book to movie marathon on December 19th, it is now rescheduled for the Monday after Christmas, December 28th, when you will be at home bored with nothing to do. There will be pizza and soda available but you can bring food along to share with the group. Also, if you want, bring a folding chair as it may be more comfortable than the plastic chairs. It will be held at the Grove Family Library from 12 - 4 pm. We will be watching Stardust & Coraline.
We are postponing the Benefit Concert on December 19th until sometime in 2010. We will let ya'll know as soon as a date is set. We will still have the movies that afternoon at Grove Family Library from 12 - 4 pm. Also look to the right and you can see what is being planned for January - March 2010. If you have an idea for future activities, please leave a comment. Or if you are adventurous, come to the next teen board meeting this Thursday, 6 pm at Coyle Free Library.

Below is an email from April about getting ready for Dungeons & Dragons.
ok here is the d and d info u want:
Every person must chose a race for their character.
Human
Elf
Dwarf
Halfling (hobbit)
Gnome
Ogre
Characters can be bi racial. Just remember to use common sense. Can't have a half Ogre half Gnome. Not really possible now is it?
Also each charcter must choose a class.
Ranger (Aragorn)
Wizard/Sorcerer
Fighter
Cleric (Divine magic user)
Paladin (Holy Crusader)
Thief/Rogue
Don't think I missed anything. Let me know who wants what kind of character and they must choose a name also.
Email me soon with your choices so I can forward it all to the guy so he can roll up your numbers needed for the game.
You can email me (Denice) at dbigham@fclspa.org with the info and I will forward it on to April.

When: April 23rd from 4:30 - 8 pm

I get tired of how a blog looks quickly so decided what would be a little more splashy. So here it is. Hope you like.
Come to the Grove Family Library the evening of March 6th for some improv games. And don't worry there will be food and drink.
Our next meeting will be next Thursday (Feb. 12) at 6 pm at Coyle (hope this doesn’t cause confusion but the room is now available earlier). We will need to figure out the last pieces of the Anti-Valentine’s Day party and make sure the movie is ready to go. Also we will have a guest to discuss a video contest. Don’t forget that we have a party on Feb. 14th from 2 – 4 pm at Coyle and an improv night on March 6th from 5:30 – 8 pm at Grove. There is also a chance to partner with some local bands when they perform at the Capitol Theater in April (hopefully I will have more information by next week). Look forward to seeing ya next week.
