Spring Break @ the Library!

Spring Break is coming up and we got the feeling you might have a little time on your hands. What to do, you ask? You can stop by the library to sit back and relax to a good movie on our new 120 inch screen, or you can sign up for one of our Spring Break Great Gaming programs.

Movies will be shown in the seating area in the back of the AV department from 1 P.M. - 3 P.M. Here's what you can see:
Mon 3/26 - Ferris Bueller's Day Off (could there be a more fitting movie for your day off?), 1986, PG-13
Wed 3/28 - Zoolander, 2001, PG-13
Fri 3/30 - Spirited Away, 2002, PG

For all you gamers, we've got two special gaming programs:

Tuesday, March 27 1-3 p.m. @ the Hoffman Estates Branch
Thursday, March 29 1-3 p.m. in the Youth Services Classroom @ the main library
Try out the latest video gaming equipment on a variety of platforms, including Guitar Hero 2, DDR, XBox 360 games and more! Mini tournaments for prizes will be held throughout the events. Registration required for teens in grades 6-12.

As always, you can give us your feedback for upcoming gaming programs (such as what titles we should purchase and upcoming tournaments). See you there!
