Adios Teen Book Chat -- HELLO TEEN CHAT
Civic Center Library's Teen Book Chat is transforming into TEEN CHAT, a brand new program that will kick off in March. Instead of limiting discussion just to books, the new Teen Chat will be a free-for-all discussion of books, movies, video games, comics, TV shows, or whatever media teens want to talk about.
Refreshments will continue to be served and as always, no registration is required, so if you're in grades 7-12, drop in to the first session of Teen Chat at Civic Center Library on March 8 at 1:00 pm!

CONTEST MANIA AT THE LIBRARY!
We still have two great contests going on across the entire Livonia Library system.
SNOW SCULPTURE CONTEST: The weather has been up and down, but take advantage of the next snowfall and create a sculpture out of snow, then submit a photograph of it by 5:00 pm on Saturday, March 1, 2008. You can submit your photo in person at any Livonia branch library or via e-mail to pgoonis{at}livonia.lib.mi.us, noblelibrarian{at}yahoo.com, or jvisnaw{at}livonia.lib.mi.us. (Substitue @ for {at}. We just put {at} on the blog so we don't get hammered by the spam bots.) Be sure to include your name, grade, school, and a contact phone # or e-mail address. Winners will receive fabulous prizes. Additional consideration will be given to literary or library themed entries. Winners will be chosen by our Teen Advisory Committee panel during the first week of March. No inappropriate themes please. Open to all teens in grades 7-12.
DRAWING CONTEST: This contest is also open to all Teens in grades 7-12. There are two categories: (1) Manga/ Anime styled entries and (2) traditional, non-Manga/Anime styled drawings. Artists can submit a single drawing in either category or one for both categories. Hand deliver your best work, along with your name, grade, school and phone # and/or e-mail address to any Livonia Library branch or e-mail a digital image to pgoonis{at}livonia.lib.mi.us, noblelibrarian{at}yahoo.com, or jvisnaw{at}livonia.lib.mi.us. Deadline for all submissions is Saturday, April 19, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for winners. Winners will be chosen by our Teen Advisory Committee panel during the first week in May.

TEEN MANGA AND MAGAZINES AT CIVIC CENTER LIBRARY
A couple changes have happened in the Teen Scene area at Civic Center Library:
- Teen Magazines have debuted! A slew of new titles are now available for browsing, and back issues are available to be checked out. Available titles include Electronic Gaming Monthly, Seventeen, Wizard, ESPN magazine, New York Times UpFront, Shonen Jump, Shojo Beat, Slam, Girls Life, and Teen Trend (with additional titles to come).
- Teen Graphic Novels have now split off a separate Teen Manga collection. You can find Manga graphic novels on the spinner racks where the Teen Series Books used to be. Civic Center Library will be expanding its Manga collection this year, so look for A LOT more Manga to start appearing. (And don't worry, Teen Series books haven't disappeared; you can find them interfiled with regular Teen Fiction. And regular Teen Graphic Novels featuring X-Men, Star Wars, etc. are still in their previous location).
Not sure what I'm talking about? Stop by the Library and take a look!
THE TEEN BLOG RETURNS
Despite a little hacking problem, the Teen Blog is back! We'll be trying a different kind of blog (or two) over the next few months. Let us know what you think about it!
