Check
out the Young Adult section at the library!
Teen
browsers and researchers alike will like what they find -- a
collection of over 1,400 books: fiction, nonfiction, biographies,
and ready-reference -- college catalogs, guides, and information on
financial aid -- magazines -- games, puzzles, study space, and a
comfortable place to relax and visit with your friends.
Look for changing displays of new books, hot topics, and suggested
"good reads". Visit over the summer and fill out a YA
survey -- let us know what you'd like to see more of (or less of)
in your section.
Outside
the YA section: apply for a library card -- use the computers to
access the Internet, Grolier Online, Scribners Writers Series, and
IConn -- type up a paper, letter, or resume on
the word processors. And check out our ever-growing
collection of DVDs and audiobooks.

Community Service hours for graduation?
Stop by the library and talk to Tammy -- we provide lots of
volunteer opportunities!
Move
over Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Mat Hoffman. All those
athletes, Hollywood stars, and hip-hop artists boasting about
their love of reading on READ posters aren't the only ones seen
with a book in their hands these days. Make way for a group of
local kids that love to READ too!
Recently, middle school students from both the Killingworth
Library and the Brainerd Library in Haddam met to have a photo
shoot session, as a first step in getting their faces (along with
their favorite book) on larger-than-life posters. Be sure to look
for these new "celebrities" hanging on the walls @ your
library!
