Teens: Come have fun with food!

Submitted by Mallorie Colvin on Mon, 06/25/2012 - 10:50am

Crosby Branch Library is teaming up with Precinct 2 this summer to bring you some awesome teen programs.  This Tuesday (6/26) come to the Crosby Community Center to play with your food!  We'll be making some easy food that you can make on your own at home, while you're babysitting... whenever!  The best part is, you get to eat whatever you make :) 

FREE Audiobooks!

I don't know about you, but during the summer I always seem to be going somewhere.  Either on a road trip to visit family and friends, or just to the park to enjoy some sunshine, and I always load up my iPod with audio books to take with me on these summer adventures.

Each week this summer, the awesome people at SYNC are giving away two free, downloadable audio books.  There will be a classic and a contemporary title each week, and they're giving away some really great books.  The books for week 1 are The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch and The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.  Get yours here!

Have you ever wondered what your favorite superhero would read in his or her spare time?  The people over at YALSA did and they put together a list.  Check it out below.  How do you think they did?  Can you think of other books that these, or any other superhero, might read?
