Saturday, May 2: Library TeenSpace Leadership Hosts Gaming & Activity Day

Do you know a teen more likely to hang at the library than at the mall? How about a young leader looking for a volunteer project? TeenSpace might be just the place for them.

The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., invites teens ages 12-17 to attend these monthly gatherings and share food, plan teen programs and activities, work on creative projects, plan leadership/volunteer activities, and generally hang out with other teens with some of the same interests.

TeenSpace Leadership's next event day is Saturday, May 2. The group is hosting a day of video gaming and other activities from 1:30-3:30 p.m. The library will offer gaming in Wii, Playstation II and Xbox, as well as board games and art acitvities. If you know a teen that might be interested, please spread the word!

No registration is necessary for the event. Game play is available on a first come, first serve basis. Call Becky at 262-619-2571 for more information.

TeenSpace Leadership members have been meeting twice monthly to plan events for the upcoming 2009 Summer Reading Challenge, "Express Yourself @ Your Library, and will be integral to designing a new teen area during planned remodeling in the fall/winter of 2009. TeenSpace leadership also has a voice in teen material selection and program planning.
