Time for a Change

San Lorenzo Library’s teens have been sharing their area with Adult Non-fiction for a very long time. Well, it’s time for a change! The last of the 900’s were recently shifted, and the teen area now exclusively holds the teen collection. Teen fiction, non-fiction, classics, cliffs notes, biographies, and graphic novels have all been rearranged. It might take a moment to get yourself oriented, but we think you’ll enjoy the change. There is even some extra space to display teen artwork.  If you’re a teen and you’d like to contribute a piece of art to the teen area, stop by one of our Green Teen Art-a-thon events and create something.  Tuesdays, June 17th and 24th at 2 p.m.

DIY (do it yourself)

Maker Faire, sponsored by MAKE magazine, took place over the weekend at the San Mateo fairgrounds. An article in the San Francisco Chronicle has links to the work of a few inventors. Take a look.
