Teen Advisory Board – Tuesday, May 17th at 4p

Have you ever thought, “I wish the Library would…?”

This is your chance to turn those ellipses into a reality. The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is where teens can express their opinions, make friends and connect with the community. Teens select programs, help decorate their space, lead programs (optional), record book reviews and more. Best of all, teens who team up with TAB can use this time for community service hours! Food, friends and a chance to impact the world around you. How can you say no?!

The board meets monthly and teens are asked to attend most meeting. Contact Ms. Becky at [email protected] or 401-847-8720 x206 with questions.

This month, we’ll be brainstorming button ideas and decorating for summer reading.

NPL and Newport Art Museum team up for Teens

We’re teaming up!
FREE Take & Make Art Kits for Teens at Newport Library
Inspired by The Newport Biennial at the Newport Art Museum

CREATE! Together we’ve created Free Fantastical Mask Art Kits for teens inspired by artwork currently on view in The Newport Biennial exhibition at the Museum. Each Take & Make Art Kit comes with all the materials needed to make a fantastical mask for your wall, plus a FREE PASS to the Museum good for 2 adults (kids to age 17 are free) to see the exhibition in person!

LEARN!
Want to learn more? The Library has created a display of books related to art making ideas and techniques seen in the exhibitions, so you can read up on topics touched on in the galleries.

VISIT!
As an Institutional Member of the Newport Art Museum, the Newport Public Library has 2 Membership cards to the Museum that can be taken out and used for free admission ANYTIME! Each card is good for 2 adults (kids to age 17 are free). They’re popular – reserve in advance by calling the Library. 

Fantastical Mask Art Kits will be available in the Young Adult Department at the Library beginning Tuesday, March 29.

Arc Book Club (for teens)!

Advance Readers Copies Book Club (ARC) is not like any book club you’ve been to before. ARC gives you access to the hottest young adult titles before they’re published! Members munch on snacks while choosing from a variety of pre-published novels to take home, read and review!

Then, once each month, we come together to talk about what you read, eat MORE snacks and, of course, grab another pre-published title!

Want to join us this month, but don’t have an ARC book?  Come on in and grab one.  We currently have advanced copies through June!

FCF aka Big Kid Storytime – Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

Do you believe in fairies, goblins, dwarfs and trolls? Artemis Fowl does. He’s thirteen and the greatest criminal genius to come along in centuries. He can outsmart the Russian Mafia, American Business men and the Lower Earth Police. Yup! That’s what I said Lower Earth Police!
