Rock Island, IL: The Rock Island Library will offer a number of events for teens ages 12 to 18 in late September and October.
Teens can weigh in on the types of events, books and games they'd like to see at Rock Island Libraries with the Teen Advisory Board meeting at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 29 at the Main Library's small meeting room. Besides serving as a sounding board for what teens want, members of the Teen Advisory Board may be able to earn volunteer hours for participation.
Teens can pick up a Teen Read Challenge log from Oct. 4-24 at any Rock Island Library. The Get Away @ Your Library! Teen Read presented by area libraries challenges teens to read for 250 minutes. Reading just 250 minutes earns teens an exclusive invite to the Teen Read Challenge party and prizes, food and fun on Friday, Oct. 30 at Moline Public Library.
Teen events then take a chilling turn with a Horror Scavenger Hunt on Thursday, Oct. 15 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm at the 30/31 Branch. The most horrifying scavenger hunt yet asks "Can you survive the twisted thinking of a serial killer to solve a mystery?" Teens who follow the clues and avoid fiendishly deadly traps will win prizes. This event is for ages 12 to 18 and does not require registration.
Teens can play XBox 360, Wii and board games on Thurs, Oct. 22, from 5:45 pm to 7:30 pm at the Rock Island Main Library. The Teen Gaming Night includes snacks, and is for ages 12 to 18.
October goes out with a shamble with a Teen Zombie Party on Thurs, Oct. 29 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm, also at the Main Library. Teens can celebrate Halloween with everyone's favorite undead ghouls by watching a zombie movie, munching on brainy snacks, and trying horrifying zombie makeup. The Teen Zombie Party is for ages 12 to 18 and does not require registration.
