We’re excited to show “Dear John” tomorrow on the big screen @ 3 pm! We’ll have cool A/C and popcorn — you just bring yourself, a friend, and maybe some Kleenex for me, ’cause I hear this is a tearjerker…
Rated PG-13.

Happy July, everyone! I know I’ve been posting a lot of videos lately, but I couldn’t resist sharing this one, brought to my attention by alert reader novelwriter65. It’s from author John Green’s trip to the American Library Association annual conference (and if you know librarians Marisa and Robin, ask if they got to see him!).
If you <3 John Green, either before or after watching this video, check out some of his books from the library!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows TRAILER!

I’ll admit it: I squealed a LOT when watching this. I also think I need to re-read the book to prepare. If you’re in the same boat, reserve your library copy here!

Anyone seen Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family yet? I’m sure that’s why all of the books are getting waiting lists. Reserve yours now!

Okay, so I’m a little late in writing about this, but we’re kicking back and enjoying spring break here at WPL. We’ve had a series of movie showings, from Where the Wild Things Are to Star Wars: The Clone Wars (which I liked more than I expected to, thanks to the baby Hutt-ling).
And be sure to join us tomorrow for our final presentation, a large-screen showing of the fresh-to-DVD hit “The Blind Side,” starring Sandra Bullock.

Skeleton Creek
Posted on April 14th, 2009 by Becky.
Categories: All posts, Books, Movies, Words & Writing.
I just finished reading Skeleton Creek, a new book with a creepy twist! Ryan is stuck in his room with a broken leg after a mysterious accident with his best friend Sarah. He fell when they were investigating a dredge, an old, abandoned machine in the woods of their hometown, Skeleton Creek. Now Ryan and Sarah have been forbidden by their parents to contact each other, but Sarah still manages to email Ryan some password-protected videos about what else she is discovering about the dredge. Ryan notes the passwords in his journal, and you, the reader, can go online to view Sarah’s videos. Be warned — some of them are quite spooky, and the ending will leave you hanging on desperately for the next book in the series!
Take a look at the book trailer:
Movie trailer – Where the Wild Things Are

Do you remember reading one of the most famous picture books, Where the Wild Things Are, when you were little? I do!! I’m super-excited to see this trailer for the upcoming live-action movie. I didn’t think it was possible to make a full-length movie from such a simple picture book, but this looks too cool to miss:
Poe video contest

Just in time for Halloween, check this out: a Poe video contest! Scary-story master Edgar Allan Poe will turn 200 in January, and READ magazine is seeking video tributes from those age 18 and younger.
The deadline for this Weekly Reader exclusive video contest is November 21, 2008. Respond with your ghoulish video tribute. Videos should be under 5 minutes in length. Some images that might inspire you: ravens, floorboards, beating hearts, Baltimore, horror, Lenore, red death. 3-5 winners will receive publication of their Poe video tribute in READ magazine’s electronic issue, a monetary reward, and lots of Poe goodies!
Hmmm, 25 days to create a Poe-worthy video? Dare you to try it! Check out some Poe from the Library to get some inspiration!

After a looooong break (sorry about that!), the Friday Minute Mysteries are back!
A man walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at him. The man says, “Thank you,” and walks out.
What happened? Leave a comment with your theory!
(If you happen to be old enough to remember the last mystery I posted (yeah, it was a while back), the answer is: The room is the ballroom of a sunken ocean liner. The rays are manta rays. The man ran out of air while scuba diving in the shipwreck. al guessed it! Go, al!)
