Create Your Own Story @ Your Library : National Library Week

National Library Week is right around the corner! Parkland Library has activities planned to celebrate the week of April 11-15. This year's theme is: Create Your Own Story @ Your Library.

We invite you to join us in the following:

-- Our Third Annual Cupcake-A-Book contest taking place on Monday, April 11 from 10am-2pm in the College Center.

This year's theme is YOUR favorite book. Pick your favorite book and decorate a cupcake entry to fit with the story's theme, characters, plot, or title. Then come to the College Center and get people to vote with their cash for your entry. All money will go to the Garden Hills' Homework Club. The entry form must be submitted by April 8 @ 5:00pm.

-- Celebrate the National Day of Listening on Wednesday, April 13th - Tell Your Parkland Story. This semester Parkland Reads' aim is to create a permanent record of interviews from our Parkland community on topics, issues and experiences that matter to us. Interviews can involve our history or they can focus on now or on (put on your space suit) the future. Record a 10-20 minute conversation with another person about your Parkland story.

-- End the week with our annual READ poster unveiling and Parkland Reads book reveal. Any ideas who could be on the poster this year? Are you wondering what the 2011-2012 book will be? On Thursday, April 14 at 10:00am in the Library's Reading Lounge all will be revealed! Enter your name to win a copy of the book(s). Refreshments will be served.

-- While you're in the Library, tell us your story with your six-word memoir! We'll be putting them on display all week long.

Faculty: students are particularly invited to take part in the activities.

Help us celebrate in the Parkland College Library!
