Teen Zine Halloween Party – October 2009
Teen Zine members and other teens met at the Huntley Area Public Library on October 30, 2009, for an evening of spooky, costumed fun! They investigated several crime scenes and solved a kidnapping mystery, watched Teen Zine’s scary movie “The Book,” took a Monster Personality quiz, and bowled with eyeballs (someone even got a strike – yuck!)! Check out these photos from the event…
Anime Manga Art Contest 2009
Anime and manga enthusiasts were encouraged to submit their best work for the library’s art contest during the month of August, 2009. We received some really great entries from area teens, and it was really difficult to choose a winner! Thank you to all who entered, and congratulations to Cara, who was our winner! You’re all very talented, and we hope you continue drawing and creating!
Junior Volunteer Party – August 2009
On August 19, 2009, the Huntley Area Public Library threw a celebration bash for its Junior Volunteers, young people in grades 7 – 12, who helped out with the Children’s reading program and other activities over the summer. Many of these teens volunteered their time every week! Thank you, Junior Volunteers! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Art of Mendhi – June 2009
Rebecca Huston, henna artist from Heathen Ink (Summit, IL), visited the Huntley Library in June of 2009 to share the history of henna body art with area kids, teens, and adults.
