Mothership

by Martin Leicht

Hilarious and sci-fi fantastic, with kick-booty pregnant teenagers saving the day amidst a battle between alien races. I repeat, hilarious and sci-fi fantastic.

A Monster Calls

by Patrick Ness

Simply incredible. A must-read (or listen to -- the audiobook is stellar, too).

The Dark Unwinding

by Sharon Cameron

Great gothic read for October. Or anytime!

Unspoken

by Sarah Rees Brennan

Read it in one night--loved it! Kami has spunk.

The Boy on Cinnamon Street

by Phoebe Stone

I cried! About first crushes and first loves.

Holiday Hours for Easter Weekend

This bunny is so adorable! I want to snuggle him. But I can't get distracted right now. I have to convey important information about the Hoover Public Library's hours during Easter weekend.
Friday, March 29, 2013          LIBRARY CLOSED FOR GOOD FRIDAY
Saturday, March 30, 2013      Library open 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Okay, now I'm off to snuggle a bunny. Happy Easter!

Get Ready for Prom!

Get Ready for Prom in the Teen Spot on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 6:30 p.m. The talented staff at Aveda will be on hand with pro hair tips for the big night. Register online or call 444-7826. Looking for some prom drama (as long as it's in the pages of a book)? Try one of these on for size. There's something for everyone, from the realistic to the fantastic to the unconventional.

Reading Road Trip

I was browsing a Pinterest board the other day when I stumbled across the coolest map of the United States. Each state depicted a book cover. When I went to the original blog post, I discovered that each book was set in that state. My mind immediately shouted READING ROAD TRIP!, then WHAT A GREAT BLOG POST FOR TEENS RIGHT BEFORE SPRING BREAK! So here it is. Read your way across the USA. * I had to change a few titles from the original list, to reflect our Teen Spot collection. Did you notice? *

Clockwork Princess

I am one of them. One of the readers who has been eagerly awaiting the release of book 3 in The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare. My wait is over today, March 19, 2013. Clockwork Princess is officially released, and I am #1 on the waiting list. Don't be jealous! And don't forget to add your name to the list. Maybe you can re-read the other two titles while you wait.

2. Clockwork Prince

Spring Break Bird Brains

Hoover City Schools will be on Spring Break next week. If you and your family decide to have a stay-cation, make sure that Hoover Public Library is part of it! We have an amazing line-up of bird-brained programs for both kids and teens. The overall theme is Birds of a Feather Read Together. Here's a breakdown of each event.
KIDS
The Pigeon Wants an Audience! on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 10:30 a.m.
This party takes place throughout the Kid Zone. The Pigeon will start with a hilarious skit that (unknown to him) will keep being interrupted by other Mo Willems's characters -- the Duckling, Elephant & Piggie, Edwina the Dinosaur, and Big Frog . There will be two games, Puppy Training and Hot Dog Dress Up, and a paper plate pigeon craft. All kids will receive a bus driver number, cookies without nuts, and Piggie Punch.
