Get Tattoo'd!

This Tuesday, June 17th, the Suwanee branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library will be hosting a Henna Tattoo program. One of our staff members will discuss the history and technique of this fascinating art, and we'll have henna available to create designs that will last anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks, depending on how long the ink is allowed to set on your skin.

Because there is a slight risk of an allergic reaction, permission slips signed by your parents are required for this event. Hope to see you there!

June Book Discussion : Shark Girl

Our first book discussion of the summer will be this Tuesday, June 10th! We'll be discussing Shark Girl by Kelly Bingham -- a novel in verse (interspersed with letters and news clippings) about fifteen-year-old Jane Arrowood, a promising artist and the victim of a freak shark attack. Described by Publishers' Weekly as "powerful" and by VOYA as "wonderful," Shark Girl tells the story of one teen's loss, anger, and recovery following a devestatingly tragic experience.

So read the book and join us on Tuesday at 5:00 by the teen books at the Suwanee branch! See you there!
