YNK @ YOUR LIBRARY]

YOU NEVER KNOW (YNK) what to expect from the Rio Rancho Public Library! There are lots of wonderful and interesting things in store for teenagers who participate in this year’s teen summer reading program “YNK @ Your Library.”



Registration begins June 4 and incentives for teens include restaurant coupons and free passes for entertainment. Teens who read 3,150 pages during the six week program are guaranteed multiple laser tag passes and will be eligible for the grand prize drawings at the end of the program.



Activities will be offered for teens at both the Star Heights Learning Center, at 900 Polaris Blvd SE, and The Twilight Zone – Teen Scene, at 755 Loma Colorado Drive NE, in the Loma Colorado Main Library. Some of the big events planned for Star Heights include two sessions with an FBI agent, a six week Creative Writing program led by local author and Rio Rancho librarian, Vaunda M. Nelson, and a free concert from the local band Psychodelic Daze.



In The Twilight Zone – Teen Scene the YNK events for teens include a craft program on unique handmade books, a four session workshop on video production hosted by RioVision, an afternoon with UFO experts Chris O’Brien and David Perkins, and a free outdoor concert with local bands Vertigo Venus, Tennessee Skinny and the 2bers.
