A lot of us have heard of the Jackbox Party Pack games. Teens, join Braelyn for an online Jackbox Party Night while also staying safe at home.
​
Reach out to our Young Adult Librarian via email (bspencer@algomapubliclibrary.org) or via Messanger if you are interested, watch for the invite to our Google Hangout, then join the game and have fun with other local teens!

Start your summer reading with a fun Bingo game.  This game will give you new ideas on ways and places to read.  Available online and at the library.

​Internet Cafe is open to anyone needing individual guidance or may have questions about the internet, computer usage, personal devices (cell phones and kindles/ipads). Please email your questions to alg@algomapubliclibrary.org ATTN:Katie or Facebook message us. Katie will be available to assist you remotely. Video is available upon request.

The Algoma Public Library is excited to announce that our Summer Reading Program is ON!

Join us for our Kick-Off celebration for this year's Summer Reading Program by attending our online Read-aissance Festival!

The Festival will be held on Facebook Live and will include a very special storytime, craft, and fun, along with each librarian highlighting what our patrons can look forward to for digital and take-home programs for each age group.

Once our Festival is over, anyone interested in picking up a physical reading log and registration (for those not interested in Beanstack reading app) can call the library during our curbside hours to schedule a pick up.

We can't wait to see you at the Festival!

​Have you ever wanted to rewrite the ending to a story? Here is your chance!

From Monday, June 15th to Friday, June 19th, teens can sign-up and pick up a picture book from the library that they want to change the ending to. (Board books, Easy Reader Books, or Picture Books from attendees homes can be used as well.)

On June 22nd, 2020 at 3:30 pm, an invitation to a Zoom call will be sent from our Young Adult Librarian so those that signed up and provided an email account can share their new endings with the other participants.
​
Let's see what we can come up with! 

Pick up a grab & go kit to "Create Your Own Pet Rock"  and enjoy your new pet.  Available from Monday, June 15th until supplies last.

With everything that's going on in the world, this is the perfect time to write down your thoughts or document things you find interesting. We'd like to help you start!

For the week leading up to this program (from June 11th to June 18th at 3:00 pm), Teens can sign up for the Program and pick up pre-assembled supply bags at the library. On June 18th, 2020 at 4:00 pm, Teens that have the supplies (or anyone that wants to learn different things about starting a Journal) can tune in to a live stream on Instagram with our Teen Librarian!
​
Disclaimer: As this is a teen program, we would prefer to limit the Journal Supply kits to our Teen patrons, however anyone can tune in to the live stream.

 
Ever wish that you could pick up the headphones of a stranger and see what their favorite songs are? Are they the same as yours? Are they from a genre you would never think to try?

Now you have a chance!

Click the image above to head to our online form you can fill out, download the PDF form to fill out and send to us by email ( bspencer@algomapubliclibrary.org ) or dropping off in our drop box at the library. 

On the day of Thursday, June 11, 2020 at 1:00 pm, our Teen Librarian will randomly select a playlist and send them to all the teens that have signed up to receive one AND have also included their own to exchange.

ALSO: If you are interested in the opportunity to share your playlist with the community via the radio, 102.1 FM is giving teens the option to answer two easy questions at the end of the submission form and share their playlists with our community!

It's time for a part 2 of Jackbox Party Pack games.

Lately, we've all had to come to the realization that this Summer will be unlike any Summer we've seen for a long time. We are having to cancel important events, reschedule vacations, and postpone gatherings. 

However, the Librarians at the Algoma Public Library are working hard to keep our Summer Reading Program alive!

Listed below is the new and improved line-up for our Teens (12 to 18)!
Since we will not be having in-house programming, until we know FOR SURE that all of our patrons will be safe to visit our library for extended lengths of time, all of these programs have been modified so that they will be held digitally. Some are going to be held through Google Hangouts so that all can take part and interact, others will have sign ups so that you can pick up supplies at the library then follow along at home at the day and time of the event, and a few will be simple informative streams for any that might have time to learn. 

Get out your calendars, pocketbooks, iPads, or sticky notes and write down the info for the programs that catch your eye or make you go, "Oooooooo. What's that???"

We are so excited to try this brand new Summer Reading. Stay tuned for more information, links, Facebook events, and other goodies as we get closer to our Summer Reading Program! Can't wait to see your wonderful faces/comments online!

For any questions or concerns, feel free to email the library at alg@algomapubliclibrary.org or give us a call during our curbside hours (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM, Tuesday and Thursday from 12 PM to 6 PM.)
