Ghostbusters-Afterlife (2021)

This movie is an excellent choice for fans who loved the original Ghostbusters franchise as well as those who have never seen them. It starts off with a family forced to move into their deceased grandfather’s estate due to money trouble. The family consists of a single mom and her two kids. They move to an old dirt farm in Oklahoma. Within days of living there, they make friends and discover a huge family secret—their grandfather was once of the infamous Ghostbusters from the ’80s. Following in their grandfather’s footsteps, the family with the help of their newfound friends and some old ones, help to save the world from Ghosts. Both the mother and kids find fulfillment through their new relationships while healing old wounds

This movie is great for all ages. The ghosts are not terribly scary and there is a ton of humor and adventure throughout. I highly recommend this for a family movie night.

During the week of February 14, teens registered and picked up kits to make these yummy-filled pretzels. The Baking Coach provided the kits and a QR code that led to a follow-along video.

YUM!!!

Dog Shelter Valentines

February 21, 2022 Syosset Library Teens

We met on Zoom with Leslie Sattler of Green Earth Crafts on Monday, February 7. She showed us how to draw pictures of dogs to decorate paper placemats. These placemats, and also metal food/water bowls, will be given to a local shelter. When a dog gets adopted from the shelter, the adopters will also be given a placemat and bowl. Their new dog’s first gift. Everyone did such a great job!

Did you know that the Syosset Public Library is launching a Seed Library?

Yup, on March 21st you and your family can “borrow” seeds to grow in a garden at your home. The best part about it besides having all that fresh produce is there are no late fees! Ha! Find out more about it and programs related to gardening here.

For Part 1 of Preparing the Seed Library, we asked teens to help us get the seed packets ready. We needed the seed envelopes labeled. That night they labeled 1,000 envelopes!
