Advanced Battle of the Books




It's that time again - The Patchogue-Medford Library Advanced Battle of the Books Team is forming.

Like to read? Competitive? Or just looking for fun? Come join our team.

Read three great books and demonstrate your knowledge in a battle against other Suffolk County libraries.

This year, our battle titles are:

THE ASTONISHING ADVENTURES OF FAN BOY AND GOTH GIRL by Barry Lyga

DAIRY QUEEN by Catherine Gilbert Murdock

THE BODY OF CHRISTOPHER CREED by Carol Plum-Ucci

The battle will be held at Sachem Public Library on March 20, 2009.

Come to the YA Desk, sign up and pick up the books. Even better - come to our next meeting on Monday, January 26, 2009 at 3:30.

We have more great programs planned for the new year! Check out our Valentine Karaoke Party on February 13.

If you like anime or manga, animangamania is continuing to meet monthly. We are also doing a program of 16 bit pixel art - create a character using plastic fuse boards.

Dungeons and dragons is meeting in January and February, as is Random Acts of Kindness and Fiber Freaks.

Into the Mic is continuing its work on their oral history project.

We also have craft programs, video and board game nights, yu-gi-oh, and the teen bake-off scheduled.

Advanced Battle of the Books is having its first team meeting on January 12. Teens in grades 9 - 12, come in and pick up the books to start reading.
