Before you head out to your local Library, however, be aware that some of these books are so new they aren’t even on the shelf yet.   So, have your card ready and put yourself on the hold list.

Hey guys, tell us what kind of theme you’d like to see for this year’s Teen Summer Program. Remember Robokitty and “A Summer with Character” last year? Well, it’s time to change it up, so let us know what ideas you have!

Thanks!!

Twilight + Manga = ???

Posted in Uncategorized on January 27, 2010 by teensmysapl

Ah, Twilight.  It really stays with you, doesn’t it?  There are of course, the books and the movies, buy you can also get Twilight-inspired t-shirts, jewelry, candles and makeup. 
Yes, Volturi makeup. 
And, now, did you hear that a manga version of Twilight will soon be out?  Korean artist Young Kim has drawn the panels and will use text adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s series.   Here’s a link to the cover. According to Amazon, the book will be released on March 16, 2010. 


Comment below! Thanks!

Teen Services has a Twitter account

Posted in Uncategorized on January 20, 2010 by teensmysapl

Check it out by clicking here
What is Twitter?  It’s an online site that lets you stay connected to friends.
We use it to let you know what’s happening @ Teen Services, @ the Library, or just general basic teen things: like letting you know that the cover for Ellen Hopkin’s third book in the Crank series is now on her website.  (Sweet!)
And, Twitter only gives you 140 characters to send out info, so the messages are short and sweet (we hope)…

See ya @ Teen Services…Read any of these books?  Comment below!

Why?  Because Monday is Martin Luther King Day. 

  • Did you know that San Antonio hosts the largest march in the nation honoring MLK?  Plan on going?  Click here for some handy info: http://www.sanantonio.gov/mlk/
  • Click here for MLK books at your local library.  Or, use one of our many databases.  You can access databases for free from any public library computer, or you can access the databases at home with your library card.
  • We will be back for regularly scheduled Library hours on Tuesday, January 19th.
