Teen Manga Group's Cosplay Party Photos!

The Teen Manga Group's second cosplay party was a smash success! We had a fabulous time admiring each other's costumes, performing anime skits, and handing out raffle prizes (we want to give a big thank you to Lockport's own Amazing Fantasy Books and Comics for donating a gift certificate for their manga-filled store!) You can check out photos from the event on the library's flickr page by clicking here!

Volunteering for the Used Book Sale

It's almost August and the Homer Library's Used Book Sale is just around the corner! The library is looking for teens in grade 6 and up to volunteer at the book sale.

Here are the days to choose from:

SET UP:
Wednesday, August 6th -- 10-4 pm
Thursday, August 7th -- 2-8 pm
Monday, August 11th -- 10-4 pm

On the set up days, volunteers will be carrying boxes of books to the meeting room, organizing books by subject, and making promotional signs. On the days of the book sale, volunteers will be refilling empty tables, answering questions, and bagging sold items.

You can schedule your shifts in any way that works best for you (for example, from 2-3pm or from 2-4pm, etc.) The total amount of hours that you volunteer are also up to you.

Our next meeting is Tuesday, August 5th at 7pm. We'll be discussing Uglies by Scott Westerfeld (click here to read a review of Uglies on www.teenreads.com!) & eating pizza! Hope to see you there!
