Teen Summer Reading Kick-Off Party!

Lights, Camera, PARTY!

FRIDAY, June 6, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM

Get ready for a teen party like no other — where YOU and your friends are the stars of the show! At this Mini-Movie Making Party, creativity takes center stage.
Break into teams, pick your genre (comedy, drama, action, or horror), and bring your wildest ideas to life.

We'll provide props, costumes, and even a few fun twists to spark your imagination. Film on your directors' phones, edit with easy apps, and premiere your mini-movies on the big screen at the end of the night — complete with popcorn and a red carpet awards show.

Whether you're a future filmmaker, an acting superstar, or just in it for the laughs, this party is your chance to shine. Say goodbye to boring hangouts —
and hello to Hollywood (teen edition)!
