DPL Teens

Did you see Beastly last week and now you are craving more Alex Flinn magic? Read Cloaked! Sure am looking forward to those talking animals, yup, talking animals are THE BEST.

Okay, time for a mini math lesson.  So what happens when you have a library and you add a little card, plus a little gaming, and sprinkle it with ultimate? 

Yep.  You guessed it. 

Ultimate Card Gaming!

Tuesday night at 5:30 at the Fairmount St. Library teens will gather to play Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and whatever other cards they bring. 

All teens are welcome to join in the fun! 

Wait, better check my math to be sure:

library + card + gaming x ultimate = Ultimate Card Gaming!

Looks right.  Phew.  One more thing is that starting this summer we will be hosting Ultimate Card Gaming EVERY SATURDAY from 3-5. 

Please try to contain your excitement.

Amber’s Sarah Prineas Adventure:
I lived a Sarah Prineas Adventure EVERYDAY FOR TWO YEARS! yup, when I lived down the street from her in Iowa City. YES SARAH PRINEAS IS FROM IOWA ISN’T THAT AWESOME AHHHHHHH! I get super excited when people or things or ice cream flavors are from Iowa. Sarah even designed her city of Wellmet, home of Conn and the rest of the characters in the Magic Thief books, to look like Iowa City! SEE WELLMET MAP HERE. SEE IOWA CITY MAP HERE. So of coooooooourse, you know what that means: I delusionally think that I lived in Wellmet, too…Doesn’t get more adventurousingly than that, eh?

Plus, we have big announcements concerning this year’s Anime Fest which will be held at the Figge Art Museum in October.  Art contest anyone?  Do we have cosplayers in the house?  Stay tuned to tomorrow’s post for all the juicy deets.
