Teens After Dark

Grab your friends and come play Laser Tag in the Library!  We provide the gear, you provide the players!  Teens will be broken into teams and get to play at least 3 rounds of Laser Tag during the event.  The lower level of the library will be set up with both obstacles and safe zones.  Battle it out with your friends to see who is the laser tag champion!  Between rounds, games and snacks will be available in the “home base” room.

Teen Dept. Staff will be on hand to moderate the games.  This will be a locked-in event.  The Library will be closed to all but the participants of this program.  Teens must have a permission form on file, and arrive promptly at 6pm.  Once in the library building, teens may not leave the building until their adult picks them up.  Teens will be asked to adhere to all rules and safety protocols, so we can all have the most fun possible!

TEENS MUST HAVE A PERMISSION FORM ON FILE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM: https://forms.gle/rZeqNfSg34RZktDa6

Registration for this program opens starting September 17th at 9:30am: https://emmaclark.librarycalendar.com/event/teens-after-dark-laser-tag-library-11725

Teen 100-Books Challenge

Stony Brook Village Scarecrow Build

Thank you for your interest in volunteering to build our Scarecrow for the 2024 Stony Brook Village Scarecrow Contest! Please read ALL of the following information carefully, thank you!

Organized by the The Ward Melville Heritage Organization, this year will mark the 34th Annual Scarecrow Content in Stony Brook Village.  Individuals and groups from Three Village build scarecrows, which are displayed in the Village for the month of October.  Visitors to the Village have the opportunity to vote for their favorite scarecrow during the month of October.  Winning Scarecrows get prizes!

For Teen Volunteers, there will be three REQUIRED meetings for this project.  You MUST be able to attend ALL THREE MEETINGS to volunteer for this project.  The meetings are as follows:

Monday September 16, 2024 – 6:00-7:00pm

Tuesday September 17, 2024 – 6:00-7:00pm

Thursday September 19, 2024 – 6:00-7:00pm

In addition to the meetings, you will be assigned a week to “Adopt” the Scarecrow in the Stony Brook Village.  During your week, you will be in charge of checking on the scarecrow at least 3 times during the week, and making sure it is in good condition.  Weather can do a number on the Scarecrow; in years past we’ve even experienced hurricanes while the scarecrow is displayed.  You will be provided with some basic repair tools, in case the Scarecrow needs a little TLC.

In total, you will earn 7 hours of community service credit for participating in all three meetings, and adopting the Scarecrow for a week.

In order to volunteer, you must have the Teen Volunteering in the Community and Parent/Guardian Permission Form on file.  If you are not sure if you’ve filled out the forms in the past, please find them here:
