FIND A NEW CHANNEL @ THE LIBRARY, the 2008 Teen Summer Reading Program, has come to a close. If you earned an invite to the final party, you know we had a blast with the bunjee run, fashion show, video game play, prize drawings, and tons of pizza.
262 teens signed up for the program this year! Thanks to every one of our participants and to everyone who attended our special events during the summer. It made this year's Teen Summer Reading Program a great success.
If you'd like to offer input on what next year's program will be like, come to our Teen Advisory Committee meetings (first Wednesday of every month at 6pm at Civic Center Library). It's your chance to tell us what you want to see, not just for TSRP, but for all Teen programs throughout the year.

One Remains Rocked The Library!
The One Remains performance on July 24 was a blast! The four guys (three of whom are from Livonia) gave a fantastic hour long set, featuring both original songs and covers of rock hits. About 100 people turned up to hear the show -- hopefully, you were one of them!
You can check out some shots from the show on the Teen Flickr pages. You can also see pictures from the show on the One Remains web site at http://oneremains.com/albums/724.html.

DANCE WITH US
If you loved the dance-themed Teen Summer Reading Program a couple years back, get your dancing shows out of the closet. We've got a couple nites of free dance lessons this week:
Tuesday, 7/15, at 6:30 pm is "Step It Up And Dance" nite at the Sandburg Library.
Wednesday, 7/16, at 6:30 pm is "So You Think You Can Dance?" nite at the Civic Center Library.
Come learn some hot moves with our dance instructor!
(P.S. Our instructor suggests not wearing rubber-soled shoes to these events -- so as to not impair busting a funky fresh move.)

Fear Factor/Iron Chef Winners
If you missed out on the Fear Factor/Iron Chef nite last Wednesday (7/9), you missed out on seeing Chef Jonathan Diaz oversee a culinary competition unlike anything the library has seen before. Teens divided into teams and each team had to use surprise ingredients to create a winning dessert masterpiece. Congrats to the winning team -- The Forks -- and their creation, "Fruity Explosion."
The Forks:
Ethan Fogle
Michela Cusin
Gabriel Martinez
Daniel Martinez
You can see their winning creation here.
