Teens

Anyone aged 12-18 who is interested in volunteering for the New Castle Library this summer is invited to a Volunteer Orientation on Thursday, June 6 at 1:00 pm. This is your opportunity to earn volunteer hours for college or just to become more involved in your community. The orientation will prepare you to be an active volunteer for summer programs and other regular duties in the library. Come, have fun and volunteer!

Volunteers are asked to sign-up prior to the orientation and have a permission slip signed by a parent.

Come to the New Castle Branch Library on Thursday, May 9, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm for the New Castle Classic Film Club.  We will show classic films from around the world followed by lively discussion. Popcorn still hot from the popper will be served along with punch. Participants will decide on the next month's film.

The Friends of the New Castle Branch Library meet on the second Monday of every month at 6:00 pm in the library.

Got junk? Make jewelry!  Together we will learn how to make designer jewelry from nuts, bolts, and other found objects. Bring your own or we will provide supplies. All you really need to bring is your creativity and unique sense of style.

Nuts and Bolts Jewelry Making takes place at the Silt Branch Library on Thursday, June 13 at 4:00 pm.

There will be a scavenger hunt, arts and crafts, puzzles, and games. Play "Stump the Librarian" and take part in the Shelving Contest. Stop by the Gordon Cooper Branch Library between 10:00 am and 5:30 pm on Monday, May 13 to play.
