Book yourself a trip at Red Deer Public Library!
Submitted by mezz-staff on June 13, 2007 - 11:56am.The summer reading club for teens is here - are you ready to travel?
Participate in the Teen SRC website, come to great programs at the library and win great prizes - all for free!
On the website (at www.teensrc.ca) you can write book reviews, check out booklists, chat on the online forum, and share your original writing with other teens. Use your summer reading club passport to list all the books you've read and use mezzos (the mezz currency) to buy some prizes. You can earn mezzos by reading books, writing reviews and attending activities.
Throughout July and August there will be lots of fun programs - from the Amezzing Race to designing your own traveling pants - and there will also be some movie nights and video game tournaments thrown in as well.
Registration begins on June 18 in the mezz and at the Dawe branch, and then come to the kick-off party on June 28 from 5-7pm in the Snell Auditorium to learn more, or email (jen@rdpl.org) or call (755-1146) Jen in the mezz for more information.

New games collection in the mezz
Submitted by mezz-staff on March 28, 2007 - 1:02pm.Introducing the mezz's Spring Break present to the teens of Red Deer: a new circulating video game collection! Starting today, 32 games (a combination of Xbox and PS2) will be available for loan. The games are rated T (teen) and E (everyone), and no we don't have Halo or other M (mature) games! There is a limit of two at a time, the games can be signed out for a week, and the cost is $65 per game if not returned! If you have other questions, please see Jen or Clara (the mezz staff), now if you'll excuse me, I have to go beat Tony Hawk at skateboarding.
