Director’s Teen Summit
Thursday April 24th 2008
3:30 - 5:00 in the Program Room
All local teens are invited to meet Bettendorf Public Library’s new library Director, Steven Nielsen. This will be an open house event where you can chat with library staff, other teens, and just hang out.
We will be showcasing our teen programming and would love for you to share your feedback in person or on the blog. Refreshments will be available. Also going on will be a Nintendo Wii free play period so you can all get a taste of our Super Smash Bros tournaments we have at the library.
So show up, bring your friends, and let your voice be heard! Help us make the library work for you. See you all there!
Don’t forget to join us this Thursday for Nerdposium! We will be ranking the Top 10 Lightsaber duels from Star Wars movies, as well as user generated ones on YouTube!
As always we have an open door on policy, so make it when you can!
This Thursday is our first monthly Nerdposium. Come gather with us to chow down on free food and talk about all things nerd related. This week will be snacking on Skittles and discussing the implications of the Skittles “Touch” commercial (embedded below). For those unfamiliar with the ad it is about a person afflicted with a midas touch, except instead of turning things into gold everything he touches turns to skittles. We’ll be focusing on the implications of this power, whether it is a curse or a boon and looking at other books that deal with the midas touch theme. Pretty sweet.
