After Hours Party

Teens love the After Hours events when they have the library to themselves. We almost always have a terrific group of kids that appreciate the fact that we have made plans for fun on a Friday night.

There was a table with paper airplane making from a book we purchased. It even had the paper to make the airplanes in various prints that were unusual.

We set up a painting table with sponges soaked with tempura paint. Using the erasers on pencils for a stamp, dot pictures were created.

Guitar Hero was set up in a separate room. We also had a silhouette paper set up so kids could dance while we made videos and took their pictures. Cynthia has a great idea for creating some life size silhouette's we will be using.

Pizza was served in the YA Room and was not nearly as messy as walking tacos.

We had Pumpkin Bowling with toilet paper and a stuffed pumpkin. Ping Pong was a big hit (pun intended) with a game that can be set up and taken down very easily. Lego's were also laid out for those who chose to do a bit of building.

We played "Chair Trivia" at the end of the evening and it was fun, with just the right amount of activity and team effort.
