We made it through our Great Not So Scary Halloween Movie Showdown and no surprise, Billerica teens picked Hocus Pocus as their favorite Halloween movie! Out of 32 movies Hocus Pocus and Coraline outlasted them all. Lots of teens love Coraline for it's eerie-ness and Hocus Pocus because it takes place in New England! We also had a second poll but with Scary Movies and surprisingly, The Shining won! Should we poll Hocus Pocus vs. The Shining?
The library was also buzzing with teens actively looking for fun things to do this Fall and of course a few good books. Be sure to keep your eyes out for my favorite author, Neal Shusterman's book Mindworks, a compendium of his short stories. I can't wait to read it.
The spooky season also had some great teen programs one of my favorite's was DIY Slime and galaxy jars. It was so much fun making a mess and coming up with some wild colors and creative concoctions. I think my hands were dyed blue for a couple of days! Check out the teen's Instagram page for some great pics... BillericaLibrary4Teens.
Stay tuned for some more great programs including a Stranger Things event.
As always if there is a waiting list for any of these programs, get on it! I'll often times buy more product if I am running the program or send out a reminder email to patrons on the list! See you this November!
