Trekkies Rejoice!!!

Captains Log 25.3: It seems as though we have come into the Teen Area. We have gone in search of a good book to read for the long space trips. We had found plenty of great story's here before and hope to discover more. After looking around, we came across a new display. It was a Star Trek Theme Display! We could not believe our eyes! We sent a Transmission to all people inviting everyone to come check out the display! Get here quick because the books are flying off the shelves at Warp Speed!

What is your daemon?

Curious about what your daemon would be? Take a test on the movie's official website. Very cool! (You can even send the results to your friends to see if they agree!) Fantastic fun site!

SUPER SMASH BROS. MELEE!!!

Have you been having the strange urge to have hand-to-hand combat? Have you been jumping to fight for fun? Have you been breaking barrels and boxes hoping that an item out come out? Well then look no further because on November 17th, we will been having a Super Smash Bros. Melee Tournament!!! It will take place from 1pm to 4pm in the Yellow Room. It is appreciated if you bring your Gamecube, Copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee Game, extra controllers, memory card, and if possible (and very helpful) to bring a TV. However, it is mandatory that you bring a Gamecube controller for yourself. This is open to anyone 12 year of age or older or in grades 6 and up. This is a Teen program so anyone not meeting those requirements is not able to play*.

So as they say...let the games begin!

This is Halloween....

We hope you had a happy Halloween, cause we sure did! Here at the Library, got our spook on during the anime clubs Halloween party and it really got scary at the anime clubs first annual Hollowcon!

More Than Murphy

Murphy doesn't have a monopoly on laws: take a look at these from Blackstump:

Lab Workers Law: "When you do not know what you are doing, do it neatly."

Green's Law: "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about."

Law of TV Programming: "If there are only two shows worth watching they will be on at the same time."

Modern Science Laws:

• " If it's green or wriggles, it's biology."
• "If it stinks, it's chemistry."
• "If it doesn't work, it's physics."
  

First Rule of Acting: "Whatever happens, look as if you intended it to happen."

Second Law of Applied Terror: "The more studying you did for the exam,the less sure you are as to which answer they want."

First Law of Applied Terror: "When reviewing your notes before an exam,the most important ones will be illegible."

Finagle's 8th Rule: "Teamwork is essential - it allows you to blame someone else."
