Got mad love for Summer Reading Club?


It's summer; a time when those of us here at the library try our best to fill the void three months of no school has left in your life. How on earth are you going to fill your days without school? By coming to the library and participating in the Summer Reading Club! An advanced degree in rocket surgery is NOT required.

What IS required though, is for you to comment on this post! We want to hear all about what you like (and maybe what you don't like?) about Summer Reading Club. Pretend you're a paid actor giving a glowing review on a cheesy infomercial. We would love that!

For real though, if there's a certain librarian who does the coolest stuff with you in the summer or if a certain book makes for the best summer reading ever, we want to hear all about it. Tell us why you puffy heart Summer Reading Club!

Help name the Gaming League!

The Gaming League at the Columbus Metropolitan Library needs a name. Rather than relying on us dorky librarians to come up with a name, we want you to do the honors! Post your name ideas in a comment and we'll take the best suggestions and turn them into a poll where YOU will vote for your favorite. Post as many suggestions as you'd like! I'm sure there are some genius names out there...just waiting to come to life.

But think FAST! You only have until Monday, May 26 to make a suggestion. Then look for the poll, where you can vote on the selected names, to run May 27 - June 1.

Special thanks to Game Crazy for donating the Teen Summer Reading Club grand prize to each location: a Nintendo DS! Their sponsorship of Teen Summer Reading Club and the Gaming League is invaluable.
