Henna Tattoo Tonight!

Greetings!

We are having our first teen summer program tonight at 5pm. It is our spectacular henna tattoo workshop. All teens are welcome to participate as long as you have your completed permission slip. We'll start off with a brief meet and greet session and then we'll get crafty for the rest of the hour.

Henna stains the outermost layer of the skin and will fade as that layer of skin exfoliates, usually between 7-30 days. Come to the Five Forks Library meeting room and see what designs you can create with this artistic tradition! Refreshments, including Coke and cookies, will be provided.

Welcome Teens!!

Hello and welcome to the Five Forks Library Teen Blog! We have an exciting summer planned at the Five Forks Library. The Teen Summer Reading Program officially launches today.

This year's theme is Metamorphosis @ Your Library featuring the colorful creature below

You can sign up for the program in one of two ways: visit the library branch or sign up online at http://www.gwinnettpl.org/teenscene/TeenSummerProg/TeenSummerProgram.html


Make sure you drop by the branch to get your reading log. The goal for this summer is to read for 10 hours. You can earn points as you read, attend programs, or read to others. Post your points on this blog or via email to FFRTeens@gmail.com. Five Forks is also having a summer long reading competition: Vampires vs. Werewolves. Pick your team and duke it out all summer long!!


The Five Forks Branch has three metamorphosis programs planned:

  • Henna Tattoo Workshop on Wednesday May 28th from 5-6pm--a permission slip is required to participate in this program.

  • T-shirt Revitalization Workshop on Tuesday June 17th from 4-5pm--bring your own t-shirt, hat or bag.

  • Theater Makeup Workshop on Wednesday July 16th from 4-5pm

All programs will have refreshments

We will also have prizes awarded when you answer trivia questions which will be available periodically during the summer. I'll post on this blog when each trivia question set will be ready for answering.

This will be a busy and fun summer--we look forward to seeing you soon!!
