Best Teen Books of 2012

Starting a new year is always a great time to look back and decide which books of the year were your favorites.  A book on everyone’s must read list is from an Alabama native, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars.  A favorite of the teen’s department, it was also named Time Magazine's best book of the year.  While not every book can be an award winner, here are a few books from the last year that we believe are worth reading and

These Rings Are Cute-as-a-Button!

The How-to Crew has turned T-shirts into bags and candy into necklaces. And now they are embracing the upcycling craft craze on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 6:30 p.m.   If you're in grades 3-6, you can be part of the crew that makes Cute-as-a-Button Rings.  You'll learn how to turn discarded buttons into fun and colorful jewelry.  Please register online or by phone (444-7830).  We want to make sure we have enough supplies for all.  If you have any special buttons that you would like to incorporate into your project, please bring them!  I plan on bringing my button jar.  I've been adding buttons to it since I was a child.  It's a treasure trove of crafting possibilities!

Looking for a good excuse to stay in your PJs on the weekend? Look no further than the Kid Zone's Llama Llama Red Pajama Party on Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. There will be a funny skit and games! There will be quilt and pajama crafts! And the Egg & I will be providing the tasty treats! All the fun is based on the popular picture book series by Anna Dewdney. Haven't read them yet? You can still be part of the fun, but make sure you grab one of these great books before or after the party.  And don't forget to register -- either online or by calling 444-7830.

From Trash to Treasure

My friend gave me a necklace that never fails to get attention when I wear it. Why? Because the pendant is a flower made from a Cherry Coke can. I don't know about you, but, when I finish a can of pop, I usually toss it in a recycling bin. It never crossed my mind that my trash could be turned into treasure. But upcycling is the hottest crafting trend right now, even for kids. Which is why the Hoover Public Library is hosting From Trash to Treasure on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 6:30 p.m. Kids will use leftover bits and ends to create a framed collage. No reservations are required. Just follow the stars to the program room.
