Ironwood Branch Teen Thursdays - Gaming Time!

Gaming Day at Ironwood Branch Library

The true kings of the Chinese-manufactured plastic, these guys really knew what they were doing. And what exactly were they doing? They were owning all the songs, that's what!

Puzzled by the complicated controls, this teen decides scratch his head in wonder. Whatever is so awe-inspiring, it must be cool. Maybe it's Teen Thursdays? Yeah, let's go with that.

These people are eagerly waiting their turn to play the most awesome game ever created - Guitar Hero. Apparently the sign-up sheet was too long for their liking. What can I say? Get over it.
This teen is clearly in shock at the player's mad "skillage." After loudly proclaiming his ineptitude at guitar Hero, he takes the role of the adoring fan, gasping included. The teen to the right is waiting for his turn at the plastic guitar of wonder, and is passing the time by playing his PSP.


And so the first installment of the Ironwood Branch LTC's Teen Thursdays hits the Library Blog. The program started off as a hit, with random people flocking from random places to take part in the Twix, Snickers, and mostly Guitar Hero. I, the charming historian of the LTC was taking pictures of people having fun, mostly involving Guitar Hero. My personal experience with Guitar Hero being 20 minutes at the display at Best Buy, I chose to merely sit back and watch the drama unfold.

Guitar Hero, Twix, Snickers, and other brand name things are registered trademarks affiliated with their owners, distributors, and producers. So if you have a problem with us putting the name of your product on this page - get over it. I now have a legal right to do so. Have a nice day!

Teens are the Best!!!!

So.. My name is Anthony and My friend Santos here thinks that Volunteering is as very Proficient way to spend ones summer, and i agree with that. This is my third year volunteering and many people always think that volunteering is lame and uncool. Well wouldn't you like to keep yourself out of trouble??? Teen Volunteering is a great opportunity to gain job experience and also get in touch with references. This is my third year of volunteering and I enjoy it.. and maybe you will too :] Always visit the public libraries.... and another thing.......ACACIA ROCKS!! :)... and Christina Cooper rocks too!!!!

Desert Sage Teen Volunteer Trainning

What's up teens, we had a blast today at the training! We did the funniest ice-breaker game and it was sooooo much fun we ran out of time... So here's how you do it:

pass around a NEW roll of toilet paper.... everyone grabs as much toilet paper as they would normally use (add here your description of what occasion it is) than after everyone has grabbed it, have everyone count the squares. If, for example, you grabbed 7 squares than you have to tell 7 facts about yourself...

We had some really good laughs doing this!

Til next time

Xtreme Media Center Survey

Willing to take a survey? It's short, just 10 questions. And it would really help us out in making some decision about the Burton Barr Central Library Xtreme Media Center.

What is the Xtreme Media Center, you might ask. We envision it to be a place where teens and young adults can learn and use new technology related to audio/music recording, video production, 3D and graphic design, video game design, and interactive learning. What we really want is your opinion. It could help us make the Xtreme Media Center a really cool place.
