Issue 4 Hits the YIC Tonight!

That's right!! Issue 4 of What's Up? Magazine is printed and ready to be distributed this evening to the residents at the Lancaster County Youth Intervention Center! I am so excited to show this to my program tonight. The cover design looks fantastic - done by William "Mickey" Beck of Columbia, PA (local graphic artist) who so generously volunteered his talents for several issues of the magazine. I hope you are excited to take a look at this!! It will be up on the blog here soon!

Tonight's program is a bit of a release! The title: Oodles of Doodles. It's precisely that! We're going to draw and look at drawings, play games with drawings, do brainteasers that involve drawings. I think it will be a lot of fun! We will even do a read aloud about drawing!

That's not all! Tonight marks the end of the latest contest that What's Up with the Library? has hosted at the Youth Intervention Center. This was in honor of Teen Read Week. A contestant was pulled out of the drawing and they will receive a HUGE basket of goodies thanks to Renee Christiansen, Youth Services, Library System of Lancaster County. Thanks Renee!! The basket includes notepads, writing materials, snacks, a calculator, a t-shirt, kazoo, and coupons to ISAAC's! Neato! Thanks to all who have participated!

Issue 3!!!

Here it is! Hot off the press! I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I do, they just keep getting better and better!!

*A SPECIAL NOTE*AND THANK YOU* goes out to William "Mickey" Beck, local artist from Columbia, PA, for creating this AMAZING cover for us! We are hoping to see Mickey this fall visiting the residents with a program on graphic design!!

Enjoy :)
