Did you know the library has more for you than just books?

We've got movies, music, and even video games you can check out and take home! We also have lots of cool things you can do at the library.

To celebrate Teen Tech Week we're having a Stylin' MySpace Contest you can enter at the library. If you think you've got the best page on the web stop in and fill out an entry form. You could be the first-ever Stylin' MySpace King or Queen!

On Tuesday, March 4 from 3:30-5 pm you can come make slick and funky new cases for your cell phone and iPod using duct tape and felt! You can sign up online, in person, or call us at 708-485-6917.

Hey everyone! It's time for our Ho-Ho-Holiday Media Swap. Come to the library on Saturday, December 22 between 2-4 pm and be ready to swap your stuff.

Everyone come and tell Santa what you want at our special holiday Late Night at the Library.

We will have Guitar Hero, DDR, games, Internet, snacks, and giveaways!

And, you can record your Christmas wish to be included in our first ever "Dear Santa" worldwide podcast.

Come to the library at 4pm on Nov. 5 to check out a new series - Mushi-Shi.

What are the Mushi, and what do they want? Mushi are neither good nor evil: they simply are. Vulgar and strange, they have inspired fear in humans since the dawn of time. A traveling Mushi-shi or "Mushi Master" seeks rare Mushi sightings, and uses his shaman-like knowledge of Mushi to help the effected people.

In AniManga Drawing class coming up Nov. 17 we'll be doing an Iron Artist competition.
(Check out photos from Skokie Library's competition!)

We'll have a free pass for the competition to raffle off along with some other cool stuff, and yummy snacks to munch on. Hope to see you all there!

I know y'all spend a lot of time on computers, and since you do, you're probably really good at it. So, why not share your tech-savvy know-how with a friend?

Teen Tech Tutors wants you!!

(Bonus: Volunteer Service Hours)

Join now - call or come in to the library to find out how.

Bring in your unwanted comics, manga, books, CDs, DVDs, games, 'zines, etc. and trade them for something you want! Snacks will be provided.
