New TAB Schedule for 2021-2022
The Fairfax County Public Library has new operating hours:
Mon – Wed, 10am to 9pm
Thu – Sun 10am to 6pm
This means our regular Thursday evening timeslot is no longer an option. So, Wednesday it is! We will keep the 7-8:30 timeframe. We will meet in person at least once a month, the 2nd Wednesday of the month – beginning with August 11th. At this first meeting we will have snacks, make a new bulletin board display for the Teen area, and plan for the year ahead. If you like, you can also come prepared to share your favorite Woden/Odin-connected book/series in honor of our new meeting day.
What’s Your Favorite Picture Book?
You are never too old for a picture book! Do you have a favorite from when you were smaller? Do you have a new favorite?
In addition to anything by Mo Willems, “The Monster at the END of This Book” is simply the best.
FCPL Magazine Looking for Ideas
The Fairfax County Public Library’s quarterly magazine, Branch Out, is looking for ideas for its upcoming issues. Specifically, they want to know what ideas Teens would like to see discussed. Here’s a link to the current issue of Branch Out so you can see what sorts of articles they usually include. This issue is all about the 2021 Summer Reading Challenges: Branch Out | Library (fairfaxcounty.gov)
If you have an idea for a future one-time article or an article series, leave a comment or send a note to the main TAB email address and let us know what you think.
