What’s Happening @ the Library - May 2008
Calling all Actors
…in grades 8 and up for our latest Reader’s Theatre production: Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!: Voices from a Medieval Village.
This award-winning book tells the story of teenage life in the middle ages through monologues for 20 different characters. Because it is reader’s theatre, you don’t have to memorize anything. And because it is all monologues, we can rehearse during the week when you are available individually!
Auditions:
Friday, May 2 from 3 - 4 PM at the Main Library
or
Saturday, May 3 from 3 to 4:30 PM at the Main Library
or
By appointment from May 5 - 9. Call the Teen Services department for a time/place.
The performance will be Saturday, June14th. If you love to act, come to the auditions for a chance to shine!

Faster, Higher, Stronger
Despite the recent civil unrest in Tibet, the Olympics are going on as planned, beginning on 08/08/08. This summer’s reading game theme will reflect the Olympic spirit, and is titled Faster, Higher, Stronger (which is, by the way, the official Olympic motto.)
So, what does that mean, exactly? Well, we aren’t giving anything away yet, but you can be sure that sports books and a certain boy demigod will be involved…
In the meantime, prove that you are Faster - sign up for our Dance Dance Revolution Tournament during Spring Break. As always, you compete for your highest personal score and win honor, glory, prizes, and possibly the ever-popular ceramic bunny!

Extreme Everest Adventure
In celebration of Fairfield’s One Book, One Town celebration, the Teen Services department will sponsor the Extreme Everest Adventure on Saturday, March 29 from 1 to 4 PM at the Fairfield Woods Middle School.
At this event, you will prepare for a trek up the big mountain - Amazing Race-style! Find the best flight to Nepal, gather your gear, hire a guide and get to base camp! There are traps and challenges at every turn, and you’ll need to use your wits to get to the mountain on time. When you finally get to the summit, you’ll get to climb a rock wall.
Registration begins on March 3rd. Sign up early for this exciting, one-of-a-kind event!

No Freebird!!!
The Teen Services department is holding it’s first-ever Guitar Hero tournament on Thursday, February 21 from 2 to 5 PM. Are you ready?
How it will work:
Events | Comment (0)This ages 12-18 tourney will have brackets for Medium, Hard and Expert play. We will use Guitar Hero III (which is why there is no Freebird!)
There will be prizes for winning each bracket, a grand prize for the overall winner, and a special prize for best moves.
Songs will be chosen at random for the first two levels of each bracket. We will then move to a player’s choice stage.
Sign up now, as due to bracket restrictions, spaces are limited!
We will have a practice session on the Wednesday before the tournament, and doors will open at 1 PM. Get there early to choose your bracket! If your chosen bracket fills up before you get there, you might have to play at a different level than the one you had planned on!
