At our last Teen Advisory Board meeting (next one: Thursday, Sept. 15, 7-8 PM) I had the teens work on a little project to decorate the room. It’s actually a creative writing assignment that I saw on the web a few times and wanted to give it a try. Basically, you place the books on top of each other, spines facing out, and try to create short “poems” with the titles of the books. Examples are all over, but here are a few online:

So how did the Syosset teens do? Very well, I’d say. Take a look!
If you send your examples to splteens@syossetlibrary.org, we’ll add them to the blog.
Have fun!
