January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by reading some great YA books that feature dogs? If you are like me, you love dogs and want to spend more time with them because they just get you. This awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues, read a few good books, maybe go out and adopt a new dog, or if you already have one start taking him/her out for more walks. It's a fun way to get out of the house and your dog will love you for it! Here is a list of YA books that will have you begging for more! Last Chance by Norah McClintock In this charming YA novel by Norah McClintock, the main character Robyn is scared of dogs—like, really scared. But she agrees to spend her summer working at an animal shelter anyway. (It's a long story.)

Wow! It's been a long time since I posted here. I feel bad, but I still have lots of fun ideas for teen programs and crafts. One thing I just implemented at my library is something called the Teen Make n' Take Station. This is really cool because each month I come up with ideas and buy the supplies, make a few samples and then put out everything at the station. It has been wildly popular and I am excited to keep this going for our teens that come into the library. Here is are a few of the crafts I have had at the Make n' Take Station so far.
September: Paint Chip Bookmarks - These were so fun and easy to make! Visit your local home service store that has paint samples and you'll find all kinds of colors there. Find different shaped hole punches or decorate with metallic sharpies and stickers. Anything you do with these bookmarks is awesome!
October: Decorated Animal Masks - The cutest masks ever :) Just print out the masks and make sure to have stickers, glitter, markers, hole puncher, and lots of ribbon
November: Simple White Tile Coasters - I bought a box of 50 - 4" x 4" white tiles for $20 and decorated a few of them with colorful and metallic sharpies. They turned out to be so adorable I gave mine away as gifts!
I'm looking for ideas for December, so if you have any easy holiday crafts ideas let me know!
