Magnolia Madness at Brandon!

Hello Teens!

The time has come to vote for the 2020 Magnolia Award winners! During the month of February, Mississippi readers will be casting their votes for their favorite current books! Check out the books from your grade level on this list https://www.usm.edu/sites/default/files/groups/fay-b-kaigler-childrens-book-festival/pdf/magnoliabookawards_2020_nominee_short_list_1.pdf and vote for your favorites! If we don't have the book, we will find a branch that does!

Reminders:

1) Monday, February 3 will be Middle Grade Monday: 3Doodlers. Give your imagination form with our 3Doodler pens! *This program is for middle graders ages 10-13, but we will not turn helpful teens away.

2) The Brandon Public Library will be closed Friday, February 7 for Team Development.

3) Every Tuesday, the Makery is open to all ages from 1-5 with different Maker Space projects.
Drop by and have some creative fun!

4) For the months of February and March, the Children's/Youth Department will have button-makers available for the public use (thanks to the Mississippi Library Commission). Come and design your very own buttons!

See you soon!

Winter Wonders @ Brandon

Hello Teens!

Winter is finally here! It has brought some interesting happenings at Brandon along with it. For the months of December and January, the bookshelves in the Young Adult section will be sporting some wacky winter hats. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to vote on your favorite of the bunch. The winning hat will be worn by Ms. Beth (yes, me...I will probably look like Eeyore) at the January Family Night...actually the entire day...all day. So, vote wisely!

This coming Monday night (November 25) at 5:00 pm, we will be hosting our teen version of Graham Cracker House Wars! Be ready to build an amazing cracker cottage with delectable decorations. Bring your decorating skills and an old shirt, because this will get messy! Villages will be consumed immediately following the judging.

Reminders: 

• We will be closing @ noon Wednesday, November 27 and will be closed the remainder of that week.
• Don't forget to find your ducks in the duck hunt at the library! Drawing for the $100 gift card will be @ the Christmas Puppet Show and Doughnut Wreath program December 7 @ 1:00 pm.

See you soon!
