More Spoilers and Summer Programs

You have been warned! If you have not done the crossword in this week's Take-Home kit, but intend to do so, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER! Go forth and enjoy the activities, then return for the answers!

Now, on with the regularly scheduled blog.

Hello Teens!

We've made it through another week in this hot Mississippi summer! Our Virtual Summer Library Programs are ready and waiting for you each week, so don't forget to check out our groups on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1464632323737919/ and https://www.facebook.com/groups/724653311633020/! Also, if you drop by the Brandon Public Library, we have our previously mentioned Take-Home kits for you! This previous week had the theme of Fairy Tales, so there were several activities and crafts for you to do.

For those of you who received the kit and did the activities, here are the answers to the crossword and word search:

This next week is about writing Fairy Tales, so pick up another kit (this time about fairy tale villains) and get ready to come up with your own fanciful fairy tales! Hope to see you there!

Stay safe, stay sane, and stay awesome!

Tween and Teen Virtual Programs

We had big fun making catapults with Matt from Magee and Baby Yodas out of paracord with Lisa from Flowood last week.  This week we are learning how to do cosplay make-up and wig styling with area cosplayers.  Today's Tween class will be taught by Katie of Vixcosplays at 4pm on Zoom.

Thursday's Teen class will be taught by Raechel of RaeBae Cosplay at 4pm on Zoom.

Be sure to check the CMRLS Facebook group for the link on the day of the program!

We are also challenging you to create your own art out of found nature items.  Make an image or sculpture out of nature items you find outside.  Take a photo and post it under the challenge link in the Tween or Teen Summer Reading group.  A winner will be randomly chosen from each group on Friday, June 26th.  The winner will receive a $15 gift card.
