Teen Murder Mystery April 9th at 3:30
You are one of a group of tourists gathered for a haunted house ghost tour. The Tour Guide leads you up the dim creaking staircase and turns you loose to explore the upper floor. A scream is heard and a heavy weight tumbles down the stairs. When the Security Guard turns on the lights, you can see the lifeless body of the Tour Guide sprawled on the lower landing.
Somebody has pushed her—but who? And why?
Registration Required. Ages 11-18 welcome.

A Novel Idea meets March 8th at 3 PM. This is our teens writers’ group where we play writing games, share our writing, and practice writing skills.
Our second meeting of the Teen Advisory Board will be March 22nd. Teens over 14 can get volunteer hours from TAB, but anyone 12 and up is welcome to join! We will meet at 3 PM on the fourth Wednesday of each month to plan future programs, talk about books that should be added to the collection, and more!
You can still grab a teen reading challenge sheet! Try to read 12 books this year! One in each of the categories listed on the sheet. You can’t double count books, so be strategic. If you read a book in each of the 12 categories, you can enter a raffle in December 2023 to win a prize. Each teen that completes the challenge will also win a 3D printed articulated lizard (stop by my desk or Mo’s to see what they look like!) The reading challenge will last until December 22, 2023, so you have plenty of time to get it done! You can email me at mdipadova@newport.lib.nh.us or stop by the library after school to learn more.
