Shakespeare Learns about the Lisle Public Library

Tabatha Anderson, Junior High Coordinator at Lisle Public Library, spent the day at the Junior High Library. She and Gretchen Broadus, Junior High LRC Director, met with all the Eighth Grade Literature classes. Shakespeare was really excited to learn about all the new trends in literature, because he tries to keep up on the latest titles. He learned about books from a wide range of genres such as realistic fiction, historical fiction, and even non-fiction. Of course Science Fiction is the hottest trend in young adult literature right now, which Shakespeare is still warming up to.

Tabatha also hosts YA Thursdays at the public library each week from 3:30-5:00. This week’s activity is “Let’s Makey Makey Music!” Kids will make some music together - no instruments required. They will learn how to play the drums on tinfoil, or learn to play a guitar solo using bananas! Don't think it is possible? Come find out how it works! Next week’s activity will be “Books and Bites.” Check out the activity calendar on the Lisle Public Library website for all the fun events and opportunities at the public library!
