Own the Night Teen Night Activity- Dream Journals
For their next activity, the teens will be making dream journals at five o’clock at the library.
There will be handouts and information featured that night that will talk about dream interpretation and help give information about deciphering what dreams can mean about what you’re doing, where you’re going in life, and issues you may be having that aren’t immediately obvious.
There’s no cost for the activity, but we would like to know how many handouts is necessary, so it’s recommended that attendants sign up on the list at the library. All materials will be provided at the activity.
It’s never too late to sign up for the teen reading program! If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to stop by the library and talk to any librarian.
