Next up in the Game On! TTR.08 Teen Summer Program is a DDR Tournament on Friday June 13th. Sign up starts at 1:00 pm. Show off your skills and turn all that time spent playing DDR into a chance for prizes and the right to call yourself the DDR King or Queen of GPL. The winner receives movie tickets to the City Lights Theatre and bragging rights. If you don’t dance, come along to cheer on your friends, hang out and munch on goodies. The tournament is free and open to teens ages 12-18. For more information call Bethni King at 512.930.3551 or visit http://library.georgetwon.org/ya.teen.summer.php

Oh my, I have been very remiss in posting lately.  The last few weeks have been very busy with Game On! Teen Summer Program stuff and life in general.  So, let’s quickly recap some highlights of what has happened so far this summer.

In June we crowned a DDR Champion.  First place went to Anna (who won tickets to the City Lights Theatre), second place to Taylor, and third place to Steven.

We made art by throwing balloons filled with paint at some sheets.  The artwork is now hanging in the young adult area of the library.  Stop by, pick up some material to read and check out the group artwork.

A few brave and hardy souls climbed the city rockwall and walked across the catwalk.  I tried, but did not make it to the top of the wall like the others.  Oh well.

A lot of fun was had at the Murder Mystery party as well.  We visited crime scenes, gathered clues and information, and met the suspects.  Many people correctly figured out who the killer was but one team had all the information- the who, how, why, and supporting evidence figured out.  Congratulations to Taylor and Cassandra, the top detectives.

Looking for something to do during the fourth of July week?  Come to the Giant Games Day on July 2^nd from 4-6.  There will be an inflatable Velcro wall and bungee run.  There will also be giant versions of games such as Scene It, Guitar Hero, Chess, and others.

Week three of Game On! TTR.08 the teen summer program @ GPL is full of extremes.

First up, on Wednesday June 18 from 4-5 pm is X-treme Paintball Art. We are going to create some art to hang in the teen area of the library. Be prepared- this will be messy. The paint will be flying so dress accordingly (that means in clothes that if paint gets on them- you won’t care so much).

Friday June 20th from 10-12 we will be scaling the city’s climbing wall at the challenge course. There are still some spots open. If you are interested contact Bethni King by Thursday June 19th at 512.931.7716 or bking@georgetowntx.org. The city does require that some waivers and paperwork be signed in order to participate.

As usual, both programs are free and open to teens ages 12-18.
