Summer Reading Program for Teens
Tweens and Teens in rising grades 6 and up, it’s time to register for Seekonk Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge! Log into the free Beanstack app to sign up for the “Level Up!” challenge and collect virtual badges for logging your reading, writing reviews, and participating in activities. Each badge earns one or more raffle tickets that you can enter into weekly online drawings as well as a variety of grand prize drawings. You’ll also want to come visit the library in-person for the teen programs listed below, as well as to participate in a drop-in scavenger hunt. Finally, get in the spirit of this summer’s game theme by collecting, trading, and playing one of the oldest games in history—marbles! When you sign up for summer reading, you’ll choose a “shooter” and a drawstring pouch to get started, and every visit to the library gives you the chance to pick out a unique marble to add to your collection!

Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit
Thursday, June 26, 2 PM
Do you find yourself arguing that hippogriffs are cooler than dragons? Do you correct your friends when they mistake the Triwizard Tournament for the Quidditch Cup? Are you pretty sure you could have discovered the gillyweed solution if only you’d had the right book? If any of this sounds like more than Gobbledegook (Griphook’s native language, of course) to you, then come to Seekonk Public Library on Thursday, June 26 at 2:00 PM for the 3rd Annual Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit event for tweens and teens! We’ll split up into four teams to play the official Trivial Pursuit: World of Harry Potter Ultimate Edition and test our knowledge of all eight movies (sorry, it’s NOT based on the books!). Snacks will be provided. For (rising) grades 6 through 12.

This 2-hour program is free and open to the public; please register in the Events Calendar at www.seekonkpl.org/events. 

For more information, call Adult Services at the library at (508) 336-8230 or email teens@seekonkpl.org.
