Tweens! We need your help to decorate and fill
Goodie Bags to send to first responders, EMTs, police and firefighters. Stop in for this great opportunity to give back to our community and to be thankful for everything we received during the holiday season. We may even indulge in a little hot chocolate while we work!

There
is still space available in this Friday’s after-hours lock-in at Miller Branch Library! Tweens and teens ages 10-17 are invited to join local special effects trade school Astute Artistry for an evening of zombie and stage makeup – and, of course, pizza! We will learn techniques for awesome Halloween makeup, fake wounds, and cool creative results.
Registration is appreciated ahead of time so that we will have enough pizza, but drop-ins are welcome. Please note that permission slips are required, so parents must come in with their tweens when they drop them off to allow them to participate. Call 586-751-5377 to register, or for more information.
See you there!

Download FREE YA eAudiobooks straight to your earbuds this summer, thanks to audiobook publisher’s and AudioFile Magazine’s SYNC campaign!
The goal of the SYNC campaign is to encourage audiobook listening and literacy in young adults. Each week from May 15 – August 20, 2014, SYNC will offer two free audiobook downloads. The audiobook pairings will include a popular YA title and a classic that connects with the YA title’s theme and is likely to show up on a student’s summer reading lists. For example, Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge, a story based loosely on Beauty and the Beast, is paired with Sophocles’ classic, Oedipus the King.
These items are free to download and keep, and can be listened to on a computer or transferred to many popular portable devices. SYNC eAudiobooks are downloaded using OverDrive Media Console, available here.
To get started with SYNC and for a list of this year’s titles, click here, or text syncya to 25827 to find out when titles become available.
Happy listening!
