TERRY FOX
Terry Fox Library has plenty for teenagers, including:
• Teens Only Movie Afternoon: Kids 12 and older can watch the movie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 at Fox on Friday, Aug. 21, 2 to 4 p.m. And what would a movie be without popcorn? Don’t worry, Fox librarians have you covered.
• Teen Summer reading Club Finale: Find out who won the Fox Teen SRC prizes — it might be you. Enjoy some snacks, games and good times with other club members on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 7 to 8 p.m.
• Reading Buddies needed: Teens, you can volunteer as a reading buddy to a child in kindergarten to Grade 3 and help them improve their reading skills. This is also a great opportunity to gain volunteer hours for your community work experience requirement and will look awesome on your resume. Teens in Grades 8 to 12 may pick up an application at Terry Fox Library. Teens and little buddies will be reading together on Tuesdays, Sept. 22 to Oct. 27, 3:45 to 4:30 p.m. Registration is ongoing.
