NJ Ghost Research Group
On September 24th, 4 teens and 20 adults attended the New Jersey Ghost Research Group. Our teens said that the equipment used by the ghost researchers were things that the layman could get their hands on. They also said that they all at least partially believed in ghosts before they participated in the event, but now they are all quite sure that there really are ghosts living among us.

Twenty-two children and eleven adults participated in are third annual Thanksgiving Festival held on November 22nd at Bethesda Hall. Four middleschoolers and four teens ran the activities, including Thanksgiving colouring pages, necklace-making, pumpkin painting, garden scarecrow-making, game playing, and several Turkey crafts. The morning ended with one of the teens reading a Thanksgiving story aloud. This event is held annually and is sponsored by TAB.
Christmas Parade '08 Review
Eight youngsters and three teens marched in the annual Swedesboro Christmas Parade held in November. The theme was "Keep Your Nose in a Book." Most participants wore the funny nose & eyes glasses and carried books. Some threw out candy to spectators, and two held the Teen Advisory Board's banner. It was a perfect day for a parade.

Children's Civil War Day
On October 24th, twenty-two local children attended Civil War Day, a day to commemorate those who fought in the Civil War and a day to marvel over the various aspects of the Civil War. Six volunteers were in attendance to the event, creating different activities for the children to engage in. Coloring Civil War pictures, examining artifacts, listening to music - these are just some of the activities that the volunteers helped organize for the event. The children had fun, and it was a great day for all.
Make Your Own T-Shirt
The teens did a "Make your own T-shirt Day" for Summer Reading in July, and it was really fun! One teen made a Puerto Rico shirt, another just squirted paint all over his shirt, and a couple wrote the names of their favorite bands on theirs. Ten teens came , we all had a great time. I think the library should have another "Make Your Own T-Shirt Day", and more teens should try to come! I love to wear the T-shirt I made!

Thanksgiving Festival 2010
On November 20th, the teens on the Swedesboro Library Teen Advisory Board helped with a Thanksgiving Festival for the local children. In all, 27 people attended the festival. There was 14 children, of all ages, 7 teen volunteers, and 6 adults. There were 8 booths filled with fun activities for the children. The children went from booth to booth, coloring Thanksgiving pictures and completing some challenging Thanksgiving word finds, and they even illustrated a Thanksgiving book written by some of the local teenagers. Afterwards, they made a pumpkin face, complete with all sorts of silly mouths, eyes, and noses. They decorated a cookie with fun icing colors and they even made cheerio necklaces. The children had fun showing off turkeys masks they made. Turkeys were also designed by the children using the children’s very own hands. Lastly, the children played two Thanksgiving games then ended with a Thanksgiving story read by one of the teenage volunteers.
The entire festival lasted about an hour, from 10:30-11:30am. This was a very fun event for the children as well as the teens who volunteered!
