<br /> <br />New Year's Opportunities for Teens @ Eugene Public Library! <br />Teens are invited to apply for the next eight-week session of Teen <br />Team at the Eugene Public Library. Teen Team helps Downtown <br />Library staff get items ready for check-out, keep books in order, <br />prepare craft projects for kids’ programs, clean books, create <br />displays, and more. This service learning project is a great way to <br />support the Library, meet new friends, and contribute ideas and <br />opinions. Plus, participating teens earn community service credit for <br />school. Teen Team meets Tuesdays, 4 – 5 p.m., starting January <br />16. <br /> <br /> <br />Make Your Own Movies is an extraordinary chance for teens to get <br />hands-on training with video professionals at the Downtown Eugene Public Library. Participants learn to <br />plan, storyboard, script, shoot, and edit with Apple iMovie. Metro TV teaches a six-week workshop for <br />teens, including group and individual sessions, starting January 16. Cameras and computers provided <br />for class use. Make Your Own Movies is free-of-charge, but space is limited, so apply now! For <br />information or to apply, visit the Downtown Library's Young Adult Desk or call 682-8316. <br /> <br />Fire Crew Sparks Interest in Reading <br />The City’s on-duty fire suppression crews make themselves available (subject to emergency departure) <br />to participate in many different types of community events and gatherings, whenever they can share fire <br />safety information or otherwise help further the department’s and the City’s goals. Last week, Engine 1 <br />went to the Eugene Public Library to visit two sessions of the Library’s Preschool Storytimes Program. <br />The firefighters explained how they use some of their equipment, provided fire safety tips, and told the <br />audiences (ages 3 to 6) how and when to use 9-1-1. Youth Librarian Michele Green reported later that, <br />soon after these presentations, all the fire-related books she had on display were checked out. For more <br />information or to request a visit by a fire crew, please contact Glen Potter in Fire Administration at <br />682-7118. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />December 21, 2006 <br />
