Iron Oaks Teambuilding Program -- Saturday, May 22nd from 9-11am
For our final Energy program, we'll be doing a series of activities that require teamwork, trust, communication, and problem-solving skills (kind of like the TV show Survivor without being stuck on an island). This program will be held outdoors (weather permitting), so please dress accordingly! Teens do not have to be an Energy participant to attend. Space for each session is limited and registration is required. Also, because this is an outdoor activity, each teen must bring two signed waivers (one from Iron Oaks and one from the library) with them in order to participate. Please contact Heather at (708) 301-7908 or hcolby@homerlibrary.org to get the waivers.

Finals Destination! -- Monday-Thursday, May 24-27, from 4-8:30pm
Teens! Need a quiet place to study for finals? Come alone or bring a friend to study for your final exams in our meeting room (Monday's quiet area will be in our Teen Space due to the library board meeting being held in the meeting room). We'll provide snacks and drinks, too!
