Make your own adventures by checking things off your bucket list! Does your bucket list include visiting a museum, restaurant, or park? Or maybe visiting someplace new? Share the top five things on your bucket list that you hope to accomplish this summer below. Go forward and adventure!

You’ve grown up hearing fairy tales all your life that usually end in happy endings, but that’s not always the case in these fairy tales. Come and join me for After Dark Fairy Tales, where you’ll hear some stories from the Brothers Grimm. Pull up a chair, bring along some snacks, or even a friend to hear some truly frightening fairy tales. Who knows, along the way you may find a favorite story, an interesting fact, or something else! Readers advisory - some stories may contain scary or even grotesque content!

To join in all of the dark and twisted fun, email teenprograms@queenslibrary.org and include 'After Dark" in the subject heading.  The login information for the program will be sent to you.  The Fairy Tales After Dark Series takes place every Monday at 8pm.

Go for a walk and look for letters of the alphabet all around you! For example, two branches on the ground might form the letter T. The goal is to find the letters without having to move items around to create the letter. Mark off each letter as you find it!

Captain’s logs and ship’s logs have a rich history, and provide insight into how life on seafaring vessels went (and still go today). Continue this tradition by keeping track of what, where, and how you read this summer. 

Fables are short stories featuring non-human characters (animals, plants, forces of nature, objects, etc) that teach a moral or message the society they are written in believes is important. Like folktales, they were often repeated orally for many years before being written down. Learn about fables, then make a meme version of one!

Do something nice and show kindness to others! These activities are great ways to show your generosity.

Get your little ones to expand their horizons. This can be accomplished by trying something new or seeing things in a different light. Teach your little ones that you don’t have to travel far to explore new things—wonderment can be found everywhere!

Small gestures make the most difference on a daily basis. It's easy to get so preoccupied with our own lives that we forget about others, but with just one simple act of kindness, we can change the way someone else's day goes, and we can better ourselves and the world in the process. This challenge is designed for you to take the time to do something for someone else — and hopefully they will pay it forward to the next person!

Books can take you around the world and back, even if you're only in your backyard! Show us all the fun and exciting places you read by marking each place you read. Get out and read!
