To reserve your spot, please register by calling the Information Services Desk at (706) 821-2615 or by emailing Ms. Jordi, our YA Librarian, at [email protected].

So last summer I was tasked with coming up with some Teen Summer Reading Programs. One of the programs we did was creating Steampunk Mouse Trap Message Clips (great for lockers). I also did a steampunk book display, I thought I would share some photos. :)
