DDR Recap

Thanks to all the teens who made our DDR event a success! We had about 25 of you here at the Paseo Verde Library on Saturday afternoon. We had some expert players there who really tore up the floor and some beginners who had a good time learning to play.

DDR

We're hosting a Dance Dance Revolution party at the Paseo Verde Library this Saturday, October 21 at 2:00PM. Play DDR with your friends on our big screen. We'll have water and healthy snacks to keep you going.

October Book Club Book

The book we are discussing for our October Book Club is The Hole by Guy Burt. It is about six teenagers who find a small deserted cellar at their school. Inside the cellar is a hole. Five of the teens climb down a rope ladder into the hole, and the sixth teen pulls up the ladder, closes the door, locks it from teh outside, and walks away. They were planning on staying in the hole for three days, then emerging to become part of the greatest prank ever played at the school...except it doesn't work out that way. No one returns to let them out. Read this book and post your comments here to participate in our online book club!
