Do you want to make a difference in your library community? Do you enjoy reading, crafting & talking about books? Consider joining our Teen Advisory Group! This small counsel of dedicated teen volunteers provide book reviews, vote on books to purchase & more.
Starting in September, on a trial basis, we’re going back to in-person TAG meetings at the library! To help keep families safe, we’re offering a variety of in-person & virtual events this fall @ Blackstone Teen Services. Please remember that all in-person Youth Services events (like this one) will require a mask & registration. A waiting list will open when the event is full. Please be respectful of limited space & only sign up for events you are sure you can attend. If you are sick, please do not attend, but let Miss Sarah know as soon as possible.
We can’t wait to see you @ the library! To sign up for this and other teen events, visit our Teen Services Events Sign Up Page Here.
We are often asked to be the change we want to see in the world, but we can’t change what we can’t see.As part of our Awakening to Change series, the Blackstone Library is offering a social justice book club. Each month we’ll read a book selected to help us develop a shared understanding of the complex issues surrounding racism. Over the course of several in-depth discussions, we aim to begin understanding the world in a new way.
The series continues in October with a special screening of the documentary 13th directed by Ava DuVernay. In this thought-provoking documentary, scholars, activists and politicians analyze the criminalization of African Americans and the U.S. prison boom.
The discussion will take place on three Thursdays in October at 7:00 both via Zoom and in person. Please be sure to register for all three sessions individually.
The film will be broken up into 3 parts to allow for more in depth and essential conversations. Meetings will be held on 10/7, 10/14, and 10/21.
Registration is required to receive the link to the online event.
