The kick off date for "Blast From the Past" will be Wednesday evening, May 30th. It will be an 8 week program and the Finale will be Monday, July 30th.

We will continue to offer our Monday Madness on Monday afternoons.
Ideas that we came up with are:
Readathon

Bad Art Fads (spirograph, spin art, pet rocks, sand art)
Nintendo - Mario Kart/ Tetris tournament
Performance Afternoon - improv. workshop / talent show/ karaoke
Survivor - ideas to use things like Rubiks Cube, skip its, Hula Hoops, Limbo
TV shows - show an episode of old favorites: Alex Mac, Full House, Wishbone

these are just ideas - please feel free to comment on them, offer new ideas and elaborate further on these ideas. Thanks!

We will have Movie Nights every Wednesday evening (except July 4th)

We will have 5 book discussions

We will have 2 Friday evening programs.
Jeopardy and a Dance Party (learn different dances from the decades: macarena, cha
cha, etc.

If Dori is willing we will also offer the Teen Writer's Workshop again for 6 weeks.

**Some other suggestions that were talked about were to do 90's collections in the display case all summer - a different one each week. Beanie Babies, trolls, gigapets, etc.

Also along the wall by the YA books we'll try to do a different display for each decade.

On the Summer Reading booklet have a listof songs from each decade to listen to on I-Tunes.
