Hey YAs, the TAG met on Saturday. Here is what we discussed!
The PALS Book Sale will be next Saturday, May 17th. PALS needs help with bringing books downstairs and sorting them. The tables are all labeled with what they have should have on them, so if you would like to sort, but can't make it Tuesday or Thursday night when PALS members are here sorting, you should be able to figure out what goes where.
Also on next Saturday, we are having a Bake Sale! We will set up 9am-10am, sell baked goods 10am-4pm, and then clean up 4pm-5pm. We will need volunteers to work any and all of that time. If you want to bake something or volunteer some time there are sign up sheets for both. Baked goods can be dropped of Friday afternoon or Saturday morning before 10.
I have completed my first version of the Summer Reading Program brochure, so we took a look at it and shared our comments. All were excited for the programs and there was some extra excitement for the new badge/achievement program that we are adding. There will be 150 badges to earn and teens will get an extra raffle ticket for every 10 badges they earn.

Books
Breathe by Sarah Crossen - Jill
 |
| In a barren land, a shimmering glass dome houses the survivors of the Switch, the period when oxygen levels plunged and the green world withered. A state lottery meant a lucky few won safety, while the rest suffocated in the thin air. And now Alina, Quinn, and Bea--an unlikely trio, each with their own agendas, their own longings and fears--walk straight into the heart of danger. With two days' worth of oxygen in their tanks, they leave the dome. What will happen on the third day? |
America Goes to War by Bruce Catton - Catherine
 |
| America Goes to War addresses some of the salient cultural issues that are absent from studies of military strategy, battles and politics of Civil War history, (though, all of these remain essential to a real understanding of the significance of Civil War). The value of Catton's lectures, for this reader, underscore the importance of the Civil War, as the modern warfare prototype that was to emerge in the 20th Century, and how the unresolved social and political conflicts, manifested by the Civil War, remain in the American cultural fabric, even today. |
Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick - Miss G
 |
| A day in the life of a suicidal teen boy saying good-bye to the four people who matter most to him. |
Across the Universe by Beth Revis - Melanie
 |
| Teenaged Amy, a cryogenically frozen passenger on the spaceship Godspeed, wakes up to discover that someone may have tried to murder her. |

They are reunited years later by an explorer who trains them to be sport fighters and inadvertently forces them to fight each other. |
