Welcome to Burlington Public Library's Tweens to Teens Blog

The end of the year is traditionally a time for reflection, so I'd like to share some good news and memories from 2015 here at the Burlington Public Library.

This year has been very exciting for us here at the library as we have made great strides towards our expansion beginning in the spring of 2016. In terms of tween and teen services, we have created two new distinct areas in the remodeled building. The teen section will be a separate room with a teen-specific collection of materials, seating for both study and relaxing, and computers. We will be creating a middle school library collection geared specifically towards readers in grades five through eight, which will be located just outside the teen section. It will also have comfortable seating and computers.

We discovered that:
1. Peeps do not like to get dressed.
2. It can be very very very cold in the library at midnight.
3. Super Hero CosPlay is pretty darn hysterical.
4. Our resident ghost Jared may have left the building.
5. Coloring is very relaxing.
6. The 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special makes no sense.

We unmasked the power of reading in our very successful summer reading program, due largely in part to the planning efforts of the Teen Advisory Council (TAC), open to anyone in grades six to twelve. New members are always welcome!

Finally, the end of the year is also when School Library Journal looks back at the best books of the year. Check out the Best Books of 2015 and see if you agree with their selections. We may not own all of the books selected, but you can always get a copy sent here through inter-library loan.
