There's an app for Everything!

Did you know there's an app available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch to help you find Teen books?

It's the YALSA's Teen Book Finder created by the American Library Association. Has suggestions from librarians and educators across the U.S.!

Download the app FREE from iTunes to your device and start exploring!

 Search for books by title, author, genre, award, or list; create a reading list with the favorites button; share what you’re reading on Facebook and Twitter; and find a copy of the book in your local library, all from one screen! Not sure where to start? YALSA offers three hot picks on the homepage each day.

Sweet Saturday at OPPL!

What is candy sushi???  

Come in and create 

Edible Art 

that looks just  like sushi!

Learn how to combine Western candy with the traditional Japanese art of rolling sushi. 

We'll use Swedish Fish, Rice Krispie Treats, Peeps, fruit roll-ups and more to create art that looks like sushi but tastes SO much sweeter.

 Snack at the library or grab a takeout box and store 

your goodies for the trip home!

Bring a friend!
