Powhatan County Public Library is offering a Teen Summer Reading Program in conjunction with this year’s summer reading theme, “Reading by Design.” The program, which kicks off June 8th and runs through August 31st, offers teen-friendly events all summer long. Teens may pick up a summer reading flyer at the front desk and complete a “reading bingo sheet” to earn chances for three themed prize bundles featuring “pop culture,” “retro photography” and “future librarians.”
A teen-led book discussion club for ages 12-18 will be held at the library at 2:00 PM on the following Thursdays: June 22, July 6, July 20, August 3 and August 17. Our kickoff discussion will focus on Anne of Green Gables. Future book titles will be chosen as a group.
On Thursday, June 29th at 6 PM, ages 12-18 are welcome to join us for an interactive movie viewing of a classic Harry Potter film. Watch the flick, follow the script, and relive the magic! All attendees will receive a free goody bag packed with props to help act out the scenes in the movie. Popcorn and drinks will be served.
On Thursday, July 13th at 6:00 PM, join us to learn about the ancient practice of the mehndi art and then sit for your own temporary henna tattoo. Teens who want to receive a henna tattoo must have an adult sign a release form at our front desk prior to the program. Space is limited, so register early!
Join the PCPL Book Discussion Group on Friday, July 7th at 12:00PM for a chat about books about travel. It could be a travel guide, an author's personal story while travelling or even a fictional book where the main character is travelling. New members are always welcome!
