ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL will be shown in the Shotmeyer Room of the Library, starting promptly at 5:00 and accompanied by popcorn/snacks.

Let Barbara know you will be attending, please.

Holiday Cheer for Wyckoff Teens!

Okay, if you weren't at the Gingerbread Zombies program last week, you missed a tasty experience.  Check out the pics at or Facebook page.

But we are now looking at next month (January), and I will be hosting two OPEN GAMING nights, plus a Teen Movie night wherein I will be airing "ME & EARL & THE DYING GIRL".  Well-reviewed and if you have not yet seen it, you should.  Check out the following brief but VERRRRY positive review from Rotten Tomatoes:

82% on Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer:  "Beautifully scripted and perfectly cast, "Me & Earl & the Dying Girl" is a coming-of-age movie with uncommon charm and insight."

Zombie Update!

Tomorrow is the day!  Yes, it is time (maybe even past time) to create a GINGERBREAD ZOMBIE.  

You won't see them on WALKING DEAD, or in any scary movie you have ever experienced.  No, the GINGERBREAD ZOMBIES only come out around the holidays, and now is your time to create one of your very own!  

Please either register online in the Library's Event's calendar, or contact to library to ensure that one of the zombies, now resting quietly in the confines of the library, is here for YOU!  

Get one before it shambles away!

Teen Writers Group a Cozy but Blazing Success

Ah, a fine gathering of creativity in the cozy Teen Corner of the Wyckoff Library as the Teen Writers Group met once again to share their words in three

well-fashioned short plays.

Kudos to Danielle, Julianne, and Morgan for presenting such compelling works which, as usual with that format, would probably be better on presented on stage than simply read, and I do look forward to that time.

Also, I am anticipating our next meeting (Wednesday, April 15) and hoping to see new faces there, too.

If you like to write, especially as something you do just for yourself, please come. . .you will be welcomed and

feel right at home.

Report on BIG HERO 6!

Last night's showing of BIG HERO 6 was simply fantastic, with a passel of totally entertained teens, tweens, and then some, plus more popcorn consumed than you can even imagine! (We set the library record, I think!)

The movie, if you haven't yet seen it, is cleverly constructed, with wonderfully drawn images, and some mighty compelling (and funny!) heroes.

If you were not there, and you have not yet seen this piece of fun, request if from the library and you, too, will enjoy watching it, I have little doubt.

PS:   And personally I think that Big Hero 6 could def give Guardians of the Galaxy guys a run for their money.

EISENHOWER SCHOOL BOOK DISCUSSION (first ever!)

Today was my first ever (but ideally not last) book discussion at Eisenhower School with 6th - 

 7th graders and Eisenhower Media Center Librarian Catherine Sloan.  We discussed the novel SHE IS NOT INVISIBLE by Marcus Sedgwick.  Turnout was grand albeit small.

Next month I'll be discussing a novel at Eisenhower, this time INSURGENT, this time with the 8th graders.  Lookout Eisenhower, here comes. . .
