June Young Adult Display: Steampunk

June Young Adult Display: Steampunk Edition

We've added a new feature to our Young Adult section at the library: a display area! Each month we'll be featuring a new theme, relating to all things literary. For our first month, we've started with something a little outside the box: Steampunk.

Steampunk started as a genre of fiction, mixing the Victorian era with steam-based and futuristic technology. Since it's early days, it's evolved into so much more. You can find the Steampunk influence in movies, video games, and even music.

Check out our display to learn more about this growing phenomenon, and to check out the books we have available for checkout featuring Steampunk.

Also, the display correlates with our new Teen Summer Reading Program. We'll be showing the Steampunk-influenced anime film "Howl's Moving Castle" on June 24th, 2011, at 4 p.m. in our upstairs meeting room. So, if you're interested in Steampunk, or the reading program, stop by to enjoy a fantastic movie, and snacks - all ages are welcome! Look for our upcoming posts about the Teen Summer Reading Program, with a schedule of events, and more details about the films we'll be showing.
