Haunted Toy Shop

By The Say-er of It 10/27/09 at 12:52PM

 

“Halloween Visits Suisun City Library” happens this Thursday 10-29 from 6-8 PM.

Last year was an awesome mixed bag, highlighted by a haunted house, Polynesian dancers, reading aloud, crafts, photo booth and other activities. A lot of little kids left the haunted house crying then raced to get back in line, so it must have been pretty good. About 600 people attended dentists’ favorite holiday.

The 2009 event promises to be one for the books. About 50 teens have totally transformed the library’s meeting room into a Haunted Toy Shop. They’ve got killer bunny rabbit outfits, bloody bodies missing limbs and other frightening gear to reduce kids to blubbering blobs. And it should work.

We’re also binging in a dj and large speakers to rock the library for little kids. But don’t worry about that unless you never get enough of “The Monster Mash.” You want to go through the Haunted Toy Shop: again and again and again.

Call Jim at Suisun if you have any questions about this. 1-866-572-7587.

GuysRead

By Bartimaeus 10/13/09 at 10:21AM

Hey guys, dudes, bros,

Are you fed up with all the books your teachers make you read about girls, and relationships, and vampire romance?  Looking for some action, maybe a little blood and guts, or possibly a monkey or two?

Jon Scieszka (of The Stinky Cheese Man fame) has just the site for you.  He's just relaunched his website Guys Read, devoted just to helping guys find books that are fun for guys.  And girls, don't worry - if you're interested in action and blood, you're welcome on the site too.

Guys read

It's got lists of books on:

- How to build stuff
- War
- Outer space, but with aliens
- Sports
- Boxing and wrestling
- Monkeys and/or apes
- and more

And my favorite, if you go to this link, you can look at lists of favorite books by some great authors like Gordon Korman, Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket), and Bruce Hale. 

So check it out.  Find a book that looks fun (and remember to see if we've got it at the library - we probably do!)

- Mark @ JFK
