Don't forget to come in every week on Wednesdays at 4:00 for our FAN Club to learn about Fitness and Nutrition!
That's followed by Wed-Net-Night, when Kymberley games at the library on the 'Net. Log in and join Katterley (Kymberley) on Runescape, AQ Worlds, GaiaOnline, attack her Slayer, race her in StreetRace and more on Facebook, ask for her help with games or questing on Neopets, post a Bulletin or share layout ideas on MySpace, and more! Let her know how you game on the 'Net, but only on Wednesday/Wed-Net-Night at the Oneida Community Library!
Right now Thursday and Friday programs are going on at Green Earth, but we'll be playing Rock Band on the Wii again on January 17 and 18th!

The Summer Reading Program was so much fun this year! We started off with the Zoomobile--I was really upset that most of you were still in school, but a bunch of little ones from Day Care came in and enjoyed the show! We had fun all summer making music with Melissa, and learning all about bugs while we caught the Reading Bug! I had great fun, and from all the reading, music-making, and crafting we did, I think everyone else thought so, too! We won 2nd place in the PowWow Parade Float contest, and were able to purchase Rock Band for our Wii! We're usually playing on Friday afternoons when Kymberley's at the library!
Children's Book Week was May 12-18, which we ended with our Pirate Participation Party, for everyone who participated in the Pirate Participation Pact and earned Pirate Pesos for good reading in the library! It was also Stuttering Awareness Week. Did you look at the display and materials? Please don't judge people to be less than you are because they can't communicate, see, hear, or move around as well or the same way as you can.
The Library Lovers' Luau was a blast this year! Thanks for participating and making the fun mousepad and calendar crafts, getting your photos taken, and more!! We'll have pineapple and kiwi next year, too, and who knows what else Kwi.tel, Lord of the Luau, may have in store for us!! February was Library Lovers' Month! New Wii games, card games, and more! We're also celebrating National Children's Dental Month, so let me see you smile! The award-winning Seussabration (Saturday, March 1, 2008, 11-1, serving Green Eggs and Ham and featuring Gerald Mc Boing Boing!)
I had another fun YAB with you guys! I'd really like to see our Net Events take off--especially come March for Teen Tech Week!
NAYL (Native American Youth Literature Celebration) was & will be again next year!! November 1 - 8! Come in and see the display of Native American Literature by Native American authors!

but you'll have to know me to make me your friend--the SLAP profile
is set to private because I don't want to deal with the garbage I was getting when it wasn't. Be careful, people!
*Teen Read Week was October 14-20 this year (2007).
Check out the schedule at

*Teen Read Week was October 15-21 this year (2006). See the schedule of events here: http://www.nfls.lib.wi.us/one/kids-teen-trw.htm .
*I'd like to start up something I call the C.R.A.F.T. Club, which stands for Culturally Relevant Activities for Teens. I'd like it to be a time for not only doing Native crafts, but other Native activities, but stuff that also appeals to the Teen Culture, not just the Traditional Culture. I'll need your help, so email me with your ideas, oneidalibraryyouth at yahoo dot com (add me to your messenger list so you don't have to memorize it--I promise not to bug you when you're online; or just come down to the library and talk to me.
People
I'd like to put people here that are reading at the library.
Otherwise, people is me, Kymberley. My official title is Youth Services Librarian, which means I buy the books and develop the programs as I can for both the children and the teens of our library community.
Help me out and tell me what you want on our shelves, what you want on our website pages (http://www.nfls.lib.wi.us/one/kids-teen.htm ,) and what you want for events and programs at the Oneida Community Library. I'll do whatever I can to try and make it happen.
