The Friday August 24th Teens and Books program at Central City Public Library featured discussion of the Harry Potter books and movies, all teens present agreed that the books have more info than the movies. So if you see the movie first you are not disappointed but excited about the additional info. When you read the book first the movie is not as good as the book because movies often leave out parts you feel are very important. One of the teens present had read all but the first book before seeing the movie counterpart - the kind of Harry fan that gets each book now as it comes out and reads as fast as he can. One had not read them all yet or seen all the movies but had a good time anyway. There is a joy of sharing books. And sharing what you read. All had things they could have brought to show and tell so we agreed that next TAB meeting anyone who wanted to could bring costumes, posters, or other stuff related to the books on this falls list to show and tell about. I will try to post a picture of the TAB group watching Harry on the wall in Central City's new meeting room. We have signed a contract for permission for group video showings on many of our dvd's so look for more special events to include dvd's on the wall or at least a portion to encourage you to check out the library's dvds.
Don't forget to sign up before the September Nancy Drew program.
