We kicked off the 2015 Summer Reading Program with a day of fun at Woodridge on Saturday, May 30, the first official day to sign up for the program.
Visitors and staff got in the spirit with their best superhero attire -- from Iron Man, to the Scarlet Spider (a clone of Peter Parker), to real-life hero Jackie Robinson. We created our own superhero masks, filled out 'official' superhero ID cards, and won prizes with a balloon pop game outside.
The books that really grab my attention are always heavy in suspense, utilize dark undertones, move at a rapid pace, and highlight characters with paranormal abilities. These ingredients often create the "edge of seat" feel that readers crave in teen and young adult literature.
If you consider yourself a literary fan of the same characteristics, then definitely browse my recommendations below to see what jumps out at you!
Join us Wednesday evenings in June at 7 p.m. for Music DVDs featuring Hip Hop legends, Dizzy Gillespie, African American Music History and Music of South Africa.
