Photography Club This Friday!

The Library will be hosting our 1st Teen Photography Club meeting tomorrow (Friday Dec. 1st) @ 5:00 PM. Our club will meet once per month, and we will be discussing tips on how to take really cool photos. At the 1st meeting, the Library will be giving each teen a FREE disposal camera! We will then decide on a theme, and then you take the pictures. Once you're done, bring the camera back to the library, so we can get them developed for you! At our next meeting we will give you back the pictures, and together we'll choose which ones we want to display.

So stop by the library and join the Photography club!
