On Monday, November 19 and November 26 from 7 to 8 pm, the Writers and Readers club will meet downstairs at the Library. It’s just for Riverside people in 6th to 8th grade. Be there for writing games where we will gear up for character development, description and other snarly writing stuff. Be there to discuss (or criticize) a new book, genre or movie. It’s going to be the literary event of the year! (Or at least a fun way to spend your Monday evening.)
Friday Night Film Club
On Friday, November 16, at the library you will be able to stay after hours for the Friday Night film club. If you were here last time, you know that club members get to choose the next film. This week’s is, “Moonrise Kingdom,” the story of a boy, a girl, and a dream to make their own world in the middle of family dysfunction and boy scout camp. Show starts at 4 pm. It’s only for Riverside 6th grade and up and there will be popcorn, pizza and other movie treats. Fill your mind and your stomach! (This movie is rated PG-13, and that’s okay. Just bring a signed permission slip if you are a 6th grader who is 12 years old.)
Here lies Arthur
When Gwyna’s master’s home is destroyed, she escapes the flames by swimming with the river. When she drags herself onto the banks, a man takes her with him. He turns her into a boy, a lake-spirit, and a pro story-spinner. Her new life goes on to show how Arthur really became the hero he is now. Gwyna life is now one of excitement and betrayl.
Reassembly in progress!
Ah Frankentoys, the stuff of nightmares? These recombined little darlings are the result of two days of Frankentoys workshops at the library on October 29th and 30th. And speaking of recombining and changing things, we’re going to be changing the blog. It will be assembled from the different parts of your special interests; maybe even a new name? Watch for the strange and amazing new changes coming soon!
