Youth

Wondering what to read next? This month, the Troy Library's featured eResource for children is Novelist K-8, a reader's advisory site that helps you find the next great book by searching authors, titles and even plots. Learn more about using Novelist K-8 or check it out for yourself. A Novelist K-8 search box is currently featured on the top right column of Library's Youth page.

Join us Saturday, March 13 at 2 pm for a holiday craft. A silly potato leprechaun made from a paper bag and construction paper will keep us busy. He'll help us celebrate St. Patrick's Day! Ages 3+

Come to the Troy Public Library Story Room on Sunday, February 28, at 1:30 to celebrate the 106th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel). To honor the beloved children's author, Troy High School students will read classic Dr. Suess stories to all ages.

So drop what you are doing and head for the Library. Oh, the places we'll go!

No registration necessary.

Have you seen the new movie based on Percey Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief? You can check out this book and the rest of the books in the Olympians series from Troy Public Library. There are five books total, each one better than the last.

In The Lightning Thief Percy Jackson, a twelve-year-old boy diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD, learns that the legendary beings of Greek mythology still exist, and he is the son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. After Percy is accused of stealing Zeus' master lightening bolt, he is given ten days to return the bolt to Mount Olympus.
