Slag Committee Meeting

We had a Slag Committee Meeting yesterday and this is what we (Kokie, Alex, Val, Adam, Jarad and Peg) talked about:
1. Early Dismissal is next Thursday, April 12th. We decided to keep it easy with a game day, one craft and pizza. If people are interested we can have a DDR or Guitar hero Tournament. Peg can make prizes available for winners.
2. We logged onto the Slag Librarything.com account and played with adding some books. you too can add books to the Librarything. See Peg or Teen Staff for details.
3. Peg has started a Slag book on BookBlurb.com. This is a site that allows you to publish your own books. She has the beginnings of a book about Slag. She will be asking for help as she gets further along.
4. New magazine - Peg is considering the purchase of Sweet16. It's a kinder, gentler version of Seventeen Magazine. Preview it at www.sweet16mag.com
5. We can apply for the YALSA excellence awards. We probably qualify for the "Enhancing Teen Spaces" award and Peg may also apply for the community connections award for the Library Books for Lunch Program she has in the Waupaca Middle School.
6. I know! We really talked about a lot! Slag officers (Kokie, Matt, Alex and Val) will be going to Eau Claire with Peg to present a program on teen library programs on May 3rd. It's the first Thursday of the month, Slag Meeting Day! So we rescheduled our meeting to be on Tuesday, May 1. Same time, same place, different day! Pizza & Pages will also be on May 1.
7. Kokie was emphatic that we need to get everyone's email address so we can keep everyone informed of Slag activities.
8. We talked about the website but while we purchased a domain name, we don't have a server to put up the site - one of the reasons for this blog.
