Special Doctor Who Event at Brandon!

Hello teens!

We at the Brandon Public Library have a very special event coming up! Prepare yourselves for Doctor Who Day!

Yes, I realize some of you might not know anything about Doctor Who (I will forgive you...in time), but this is the perfect opportunity to learn. If you like anything remotely Sci-Fi, British, funny, dramatic, or sarcastic, you will appreciate this show. This event is basically a mini-convention, so even if you are new to the series, you will get the chance to learn by watching those who are not. We will have trivia games for those hardcore Whovians, so brush up on your TARDIS knowledge. There will be mini-games that are not trivia related, but definitely fun for everyone. Don't forget the costume contest and the potluck! Yes, free food. You're welcome. The library will be providing the drinks, so make sure that you bring your favorite Doctor Who-themed dishes to share.

All ages are welcome to this event, so don't feel shy about bringing your friends, parents, or siblings. Be sure to be there Saturday, September 21 at 12:00pm. Allons-y!

What's New With Brandon

Hello Teens!

That time of year has come again: school is back in session. With the new school year comes some new events at the Brandon Public Library! As the picture shows, we have a new display above the YA section. Yes, this one is also a guessing game. The trick to this is to guess what the Dewey Decimal Number (or Call Number, whichever applies) is for each book "app". There are guessing sheets to fill out to make your life somewhat easier, so be sure to ask for the answer sheets when you stop by!

Coming up, we also will be featuring some new and old board games at our Middle Grade Game Night! Thursday, August 29 at 5:00 p.m., be sure to come and see what new games we have! This program is mostly for middle graders, but don't worry, teens are welcome as well.

Don't forget to come by the Children's Desk for research and homework tips! We have several different free resources that are helpful to any student trying to survive project or paper time. Don't worry, school isn't that far behind me; I still remember some good tips and tricks.

Be on the lookout for some awesome events coming up in September!
