Due to inclement weather concerns, the Bedford Public Library has rescheduled the Teen Gaming Tournament to Friday, March 14th, 6:30 - 9:00 pm. Join on us on Friday to test your skills on Guitar Hero! You don't have to be an expert to have fun. There will be pizza and nachos for all. A big thank you to Wal-Mart for donating a Nintendo Wii system and to YALSA for the $450 dollars mini-grant to fund the tournament. We look forward to seeing you next week.

Teen Tech Week is a national initiative sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association and is aimed at teens, their parents, educators and other concerned adults. The purpose of the initiative is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through libraries such as DVDs, databases, audio books, and videogames. Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries' nonprint resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology. Teen Tech Week began in 2007 and has a general theme of Get Connected @ your library. The 2008 celebration is March 2-8. For more information visit the Teen Tech Week site.
