Sunday Reflections: What if Best Friends Aren’t Forever?
My half of my BFF necklace sits in a box in my closet. I don’t know what happened to the other half; maybe it flew out the car window that fateful day our junior year that changed my life forever. Maybe they took it off of her when they loaded her into the ambulance, trying […]

Video Games Weekly: Pokken Tournament
Gamers have been waiting for Pokken Tournament to be released for a while, and it’s finally here! It’s probably one of the most awaited Wii U games besides Starfox Zero, which isn’t out yet (librarians will probably want to preorder it though, jussayin’).

TPiB: MakerSpace Poetry
I love poetry. In fact, I still have all my old high school notebooks full of my very bad angst filled poetry. Occasionally, I still even add a new poem. And since April is National Poetry Month, I wanted to find a way to combine some poetry activities with the new MakerSpace at The Public […]

Book Review: Breakfast with Neruda by Laura Moe, reviewed by teen reviewer Lexi
Publisher’s Book Description Michael Flynn is just trying to get through his community service after he made the dumb decision to try to blow up his friend’s car with fireworks–the same friend who stole Michael’s girl.

Video Games Weekly: Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2
One of the biggest requests I get from parents visiting the library is a video game that isn’t “too violent” that their kid/teen will also enjoy playing.
