TEEN E-NEWS
 JULY/AUGUST 2018
Hi everyone,
During the next two months, we continue our Summer In The Middle programs, and our regular drop-in chess club for all player levels. If you love arts and crafts, registration is open for the Art Camp in August. Space video game lovers should not miss out on Artemis After Hours. To whet your appetite, new this Fall will be a weekly program for kids ages 13-17 to learn about subjects we call adulting. Can I hear you say, "what does that mean"? Programs that teach about investing money, budgeting an income, taxes, and more. (The stuff we wish we had known about when we were young.) Expert presenters will make these boring sounding topics anything but ho-hum! Don't forget, if you have an idea for a program at the library you would like to see offered, please send an e-mail to Annika Sundberg at asundberg@derrytownship.org. Library Assistant -Teen Services in the Children's Department.
