Guitar Club! New Program!
Thursdays, 3:00—4:30 p.m.
Jan. 12th – March 29th

Come to the Ransom Library after school for guitar instruction, practice, jam, and talk. Joe Gross spent the better part of his twenties and early thirties teaching music lessons and playing in bands—come pick his brain (or show him a thing or two)! Don't worry if you're new to playing or if you're a guitar veteran, he (we) will flex with the needs of players and cover anything from beginning music reading to learning specific rock, blues, country, and bluegrass tunes. Bring your own acoustic or electric, or just come and use one of our guitars. If you play something other than guitar, bring your instrument and join in with guitar players (No Cowbell). Start time will be informal, don't worry about being late! All ages are welcome.

Please register by January 10th.


The Hunger Games Movie
Friday, March 23rd

Peeta or Gale? That is the question.

Join us, in or out of costume, to eat pizza and go see the premiere of The Hunger Games movie. Joe will purchase tickets ahead of time, so be sure to register early!

If you didn't understand the Peeta/Gale reference, there is still plenty of time to visit the library and pick up Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Joe just ordered extra copies!

Please register by March 10th.
