The Burlingame Public Library is offering three upcoming events for teens. For more information, see the posters in the Crocker Library windows. ** Note to HTV: I have graphics for these events- will email.

Please join us for a Freedom to Read Banned Books Open House on Saturday, October 7 at 2pm. We will highlight some of the banned and challenged books in the Burlingame Library collection, and teens will perform response poetry they have written to some of these books in workshops led by the Burlingame-Hillsbourgh Youth Poet Laureate, Lauren Lin. Refreshments will be served. Event is for all ages. No registration required.  

Teens are invited to join other teens for some Friday Fall Fun in the Lane Community Room on October 20 at 4pm! Make a clay monster, then decorate a pumpkin sugar cookie and eat it while sipping some apple cider! Registration is required at https://burlingame.libcal.com/event/11339758
