Good morning KLYC! Just a heads up that there will be no Game Night tonight in preparation for the holidays. BUT you should still come in to get your books while you can as Wednesday will be a half day and then we will be closed for the rest of the week!!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Good morning everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to thank our local HEB here in Kingsland for helping us supply our teen game night group with snacks and drinks!! ( We've been surviving too long off of Takis and popcorn 😅 ) It's easy to tell that the group greatly appreciated the variety.

Don't forget that our teen game night is held weekly every Tuesday evening from 5:00 to 6:30pm! ( excluding holidays or when Miss Amanda decides to trip in heels )

Hello, ghosts, ghouls, and goblins! I hope all of you are having an awesome Halloween!! 🎃 It comes with much regret that I have to announce that all the teen programs ( including the Nanowrimo write-ins this week ) have been canceled. I will keep you updated on any changes!

With much love,
Miss Amanda

Good morning KLYC!! We got lots of new books in!! 👉📚

For the teens: Six Crimson Cranes, Grace and Glory, and Zombies vs. Unicorns ( yes, really ) are just a few of the new volumes we have in! Be aware though that we have an uncontrollable spider web growing around the books so you're gonna have to reach for it...😬🕸

For the juniors: New Percy Jackson books, Dogman, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and a novel titled the Thirteenth Cat ( ??? ) are among the newcomers!! No spiderwebs for you. But we do have invisible tooth eating fairies. 👀

Hello, everybody! Just a heads up: there is heavy rain expected tonight and a flash flood warning has been issued. If you feel unsafe driving your kids to the weekly game night tonight that is okay!! It's not a mandatory event and we will still be here next week! Remember to turn around and don't drown. 👍

Hello everybody! Just wanted to make you all aware that it is Mental Illness Awareness week and every day is going to be focusing on a different illness.

In the TEEN section of the library, where the new books are on display, I have put together another display for mental illness with fact sheets about each of these diseases and how they affect us. I welcome anyone who is interested to take some of the sheets home with them and to check out the relevant books!

It's that time of the year as the days get shorter and the holidays' pile on that many of us may start feeling down or overwhelmed. Let's be kind to one another, and let's do our best to listen to and understand our youth!

Sincerely,
Amanda Starkes
Teen Librarian

Gentle reminder that tonight at 5:00pm is yet another Teen Gaming Night!! We got a Wii counsel with games like Mario Cart, Super Mario Brothers, Sonic, and even Zelda: Twilight Princess if you really want a challenge!

We also got TONS of board games and a few other TV displays and free Wifi so...really, what are you waiting for? Come get your mind off of the world for a bit!

Teen Gaming Night is every Tuesday from 5:00pm to 6:30pm. Don't miss out!!

Oops! We got a new display in the teen section and it's all about that one period in history class that you actually remember the name of but can't spell! ⚔👑

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that the Teen Game Night on Tuesday, the 17th will be canceled. My family and I are at home sick, but I'll be counting down the days until I am at the library again!! - Amanda, Teen Librarian & Tech Services 💕

Look, I'm not saying that we have the largest collection of anime and manga in Llano County...but we kinda do. 😎
