September Events

As many of you are probably beginning to plan for going back to school, I’m trying to plan ahead for fall.
Here is what I have added to the September calendar so far:
Video Games – Friday Afternoons 2:30 – 4, 9/3, 9/17
Anime Club – First Meeting September 16 2:30 – 4
Teen Advisory Board – First Meeting September 23 3:30-4:30

Meeting times and schedule for Anime Club and Teen Advisory Board are subject to change based on the availability of people who want to participate.  If you are interested in either of these activities, but can’t make the first meeting, send me an email: edaly@cwmars.org

You can also find out when things are happening by checking this website’s Events Page. Or our events listing on Facebook.

Welcome to the New Teen Spot Website

Hi! Welcome to the new Teen Spot @ Chicopee Public Library website.  We’ve changed things up a bit so the site looks more like a blog, and like a blog, it will be regularly updated with new content about books, media, and things that are happening at the library for teens.  So watch this space!

You can also browse the catalog for books and more, access our CLIC databases and homework help links (coming soon), check out our Teen events, and navigate to the Chicopee Public Library homepage.

We’re also on Facebook, with a separate Chicopee YA department page for teens.  Friend us to find out what’s happening at the library for you.

Questions? Comments? What else would you like to see on this site? Email your friendly neighborhood Young Adult Librarian, Erin Daly at edaly@cwmars.org

Learn about Scratch at the library

Scratch is an easy visually-based programming language that you can use to create games, stories, interactive, art, music and more.  Here, check out this little Scratch project I made for the library: Library Verbs
You can check out Scratch for yourself here.

To learn more about Scratch come to an introductory session in our computer lab:

  • Monday July 26 3:30-4:30
  • Tuesday August 3 3:30-4:30
  • Thursday August 19 3-4

Hope to see you there!
