Blind Date With a Book

Come check out our new display at Green Valley Library! We are calling it "Blind Date With a Book". It's simple: choose a paper-covered book based only on a short descrption, check it out, take it home, and unwrap it! Show it off to your friends and share your favorite snacks... who knows, maybe there's a future for the two of you!

Teen Volunteers: Book Spine Poetry

The Green Valley Library Teen Volunteers spent Tuesday afternoon scouring the bookshelves for the perfect combinations of words. The results? Beautiful and unique works of poetry created from words found only on the spines of Young Adult books. I hope you enjoy these witty poems, and are inspired to try a few of your own!

Today I would like to make note of some exceptionally awesome backpacks. They are as follows:

 

The Pokeball Backpack: Gotta store em all

 

 

The Captain America Backpack: For all your Avenging needs

 

 

 

The Lego Backpack *added bonus: Is customizable





A lovely Nintendo throwback

 

 

The Left 4 Dead Backpack: When your geek fashion choices require some aid

 



And lastly, the only carry all that could possibly thwart that determined Italian plumber

 

Now go forth and embrace thy inner geek fashionista/o. Geekonista/o? On that note, I would like to close with the following photo of a corgi chillin in the snow with a sweet pair of shades.

May your day be as awesome as this corgi.

Today will be a tribute to paper art! Basically, super genius creative people cut little tiny slits and whatnot into paper, fold it just so, and voila! Suddenly you have a sculpture!

I don't know what kind of geek you are, but there's probably something that tickles your fancy below:

I have not felt this inspired to cut out tiny pieces of paper and get all messy with glue like this since I was five.
