The first virtual TEEN ADVISORY BOARD of the Allen Public Library will be on Thursday, April 2, 2009 at 7:00 pm.
No, this is not an elaborate April Fools Day joke.
The sponsor, Mrs. Saxton, Teen Services Librarian, will be high atop the skyline of Houston at the Texas Library Association's Annual Conference.
TEEN ADVISORY BOARD members are encouraged to participate in an online chat to finalize the plans for the Summer Reading Program: TEXAS TEENS READ: TIME TWISTIN' TTR.09.
Plan to meet virtually here on Thursday, April 2, 2009 at 7:00 pm.

tell christine I said Hi
ReplyDeleteThank you all for attending this virtual TAB meeting. I see Katherine, Christine (?), Trent's daughter, and who else?
ReplyDeleteApril: Awesome!
ReplyDeleteChristine: (said manically): Hi *waves*
Yes, Christine's here, I'm just posting for her!
ReplyDeleteIt's April by the way!
We need to talk about renaming the Talent Show in the summer on Thursday, June 18, at 2:00 pm. Someone suggested calling it "Allen Has Talent!"
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone
ReplyDeleteShow de Talent
ReplyDeleteWe might make it a cross between American Idol and America Has Talent. Katherine has already said that she wants to be a judge. Some of the people who work at the library have agreed to showcase their talents: I am trying to convince Alicia to sing and roller skate at the same time.
ReplyDeleteApril: Ok, that sound great, is there any way that we could have it end before 4?
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm running a camp and I need to be there by 4:30!
Christine: I'm trying to get a gmail account, but my computer is slow!
I like Show de Talent!
ReplyDeleteSo what is your talent?
April: My talent is a comedy skit with Christine and Devon from YAWA.
ReplyDeleteChristine: I'm reading the comments!
My talents are not really "showable"
ReplyDeleteOh ya, and Steven's in it too!
ReplyDeleteThe Show de Talent or Allen Has Talent! would run from 2:00 to 4:00, and we could plan it out so that it ended at 3:30 with clean up in the Auditorium until 4:00.
ReplyDeleteGreat
ReplyDeleteWow, is this all the people we have?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteIf certain people don't show up, I'm going to be angry!
Steven? Or ANDREW?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great, thanks guys!
ReplyDeleteGregory?
ReplyDeleteSteven, lol!
ReplyDeleteBecause the talent show will be in June, I have switched The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants #2 movie to May 23 in the Auditorium at 2:00. I was going to have a related craft. Last time, I did blue jean pockets with paint and sparkles.
ReplyDeleteI can do another craft. Maybe an Altered Book craft.
Did I miss something April
ReplyDeleteActually I was referring to Vivian!
ReplyDeleteBut anyone that doesn't show up I will be slightly peeved with.
>:-<
This is so disjointed!
ReplyDeleteOk, I think I like the altered book craft!
April
That sounds fun Mrs. Saxton
ReplyDeleteChristine: Something blue jean related would be cool, but if you already did that then idk.
ReplyDeleteApril: .....
What's next on the agenda?
ReplyDeleteMrs. Saxton??
ReplyDeleteI heard about a really cool Scavenger Hunt. We are having a Scavenger Hunt in the Summer Reading Program on Thursday, July 23.
ReplyDeleteThere are old photographs of local places and the participants have to guess where the places are, and if possible, take a picture of the current place.
Such as a photograph of the water tower in town without any houses around it.
This is supposed to be connected to the theme for the summer, Time Twisting.
April: That sounds really cool. How are we going to take the pics though if it's at the library??
ReplyDeleteChristine: Ya, that sounds cool!
The next TAB meeting is Thursday, May 7th at 7:00 pm in the Meeting Room.
ReplyDeleteOk, sweet!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool for people to have to know where things are in the city they live in
ReplyDeleteThe Scavenger Hunt might be hard to do, if the participants have to supply pictures. Maybe a sheet for guessing what the place is.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe pictures of people from way back when.
I have a picture of me as a child where I look just like Alfred E. Newman. But everyone would know it was me. ;)
Awesome next meeting
ReplyDeleteGuys, I gotta go for now, I have a dinner at the tallest building in Houston waiting for me. You can keep talking if you wish and I will check in with you later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the first idea Who would we use for the second idea
ReplyDeleteBye Mrs. Saxton
ReplyDeleteApril: Ok, but how will the participants know what to take photos of?
ReplyDeleteUm, I'm never releasing pictures of me before the age of 12.
Christine: ...
Bye Mrs. Saxton!!
ReplyDeleteDo you want to keep talking?
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling I'm just sitting here commenting to myself.
ReplyDeleteApril
Ya, sure I'll keep talking!
ReplyDeleteHellooooo??
ReplyDeleteI love doing this, just sitting here, commenting...........
ReplyDeleteYa
Im sorry What have you been up to
ReplyDeleteOk, just thought of this, are all TAB members supposed to sign up for the Day of the Book/Day of the Child event? And is it still on April 26th??
ReplyDeleteApril
Whats that
ReplyDeleteThat event that Mrs. Saxton told us a couple of TAB meetings ago!
ReplyDeleteNot helping
ReplyDeleteIt's an event that you help out at by making crafts with little kids!
ReplyDeleteOK cool
ReplyDeleteApril: Ya, hoping that Mrs. Saxton reads this and tells me about the date.
ReplyDeleteChristine: I am awesome!
I haven't heard any different to answer your question
ReplyDeleteOh, ok then...
ReplyDeleteIm going to leave See you next meeting
