Last night, we celebrated Singles' Awareness Day (okay, okay, it was Valentine's Day, but who want to celebrate that?) by hosting our February Teen Open Mic Night. Let me just say that it was amazing! I have never had so much fun (or witnessed so much talent!) at the library. Thanks to everyone who participated, from the stellar performers to the supportive audience! We look forward to seeing you all next month, March 14th, for another great evening. Tell your friends, enjoy some snacks and performances, and maybe, even perform yourself!

We hosted the Teen Poetry Slam tonight, courtesy of the Friends of the Library. After three rounds of some excellent poetry, our scorekeeper Marissa announced the results:
