Teen Life Skills 2019 will feature Fitness Fridays in January 3 to 4 p.m. every January in the Androscoggin Community Room. The program explores nutritional, intellectual, emotional and physical fitness. The program is fr those 12 to 18 and will include a snack.
The Great Stories club will focus on “Empathy: The Cost of Switching Sides,” and will meet 4:30 to 6 p.m. Monday Jan. 7 and 14 in the Teen Space. There will be two dicussions on the book “All American Boys,” by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely. Those who want to sign up should contact Donna at the library or Joyce at the Boys & Girls Club.
The Teen Matinee in January will be “Hoosiers,” rated PG, which will be shown from 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, in the Androscoggin Community Room.
In keeping with the celebration of fitness this month (and since it is also basketball season), the movie “Hoosiers,” tells the story of a small-town Indiana high school basketball team that wins the state championship. The movie is loosely based on the Milan High School team that won the 1954 state championship. The movie is for teens ages 12 to 18, and will include snacks.
The Library Advisory Board will meet from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 16, at Edward Little High School llibrary, and 2:30 to 3:30 Wednesday Jan. 30, in the Auburn Public Library Teen Space.
The board is a joint venture between the Auburn Public Library and the library at Edward Little, with a mission is to create more awareness of and collaboration between both libraries, promoting everything the libraries offer to the teens in the community. The board meets every other week, alternating between the Auburn Public Library and Edward Little. Teens interested in joining should be between the ages of 12 and 18, interested in community involvement and a lover of the library. They do not have to be a student at Eward Little to participate.
