Movies start at 2 p.m. (except for Harry Potter movies, at times indicated) in the Maas Teen Learning Center. For grades 6-12. Free snacks and soda. Bring comfy seating, if you’d like.

You might win a $50 Target gift card while you help with ACUITY Cool Picks. Mead Library needs teen volunteers to help keep our shelves in order, sign up teens for ACUITY Cool Picks, run movie and gaming programs, and help at the kick-off carnival.
Here’s how it works: Every time you volunteer, you’ll get a chance to win. 

Plus you’ll have a reference for job, school, and scholarship applications and earn volunteer hours for service organizations. Volunteer up to 3 times a week, June 13 to Aug. 12, for one hour each time. If you’re in grade 8 and up, apply at the Maas Teen Learning Center, May 23 to June 10. Those interested should try to attend the Teen Advisory Group meeting on Wednesday, May 25, 3:30-4:30 p.m., for info on volunteering.

Do you need to take a bus to get to Mead Library? Then ask us about riding the Shoreline Metro bus for free, courtesy of the Friends of Mead Public Library

Interested in the “Hunger Games” series by Suzanne Collins? Join us for a series of book discussion meetups. We’ll distribute copies of “The Hunger Games” that you can keep (limited supply, for participants only). Share the wealth and take a copy only if you don’t already have one, please. Come to a read-a-thon on Wednesday, June 1, 4 to 8 p.m., in the Maas Teen Learning Center to get your copy. Then you can get a start on the series or bring another book to read.

Here’s the meetup schedule: Wednesdays at 6 p.m.; June 29, “The Hunger Games;” July 27, “Catching Fire;” Aug. 24, “Mockingjay.”

Thanks to the Friends of Mead Public Library for funding this program.
