Your opinion matters! If you’re in grade 6 through 12, then you have a chance to make a difference at your library by joining the Teen Advisory Board (TAB). During the school year, we will meet once a month at 3:30 PM to share ideas about upcoming programs and discuss how we can make the most out of the library’s services for tweens and teens. This is an opportunity to practice leadership, collaboration, and civic engagement and to take an active role in shaping the library’s impact on your community. Becoming a member of the board requires a commitment to attend meetings regularly. For more information, call Adult Services at the library at (508) 336-8230 or email teens@seekonkpl.org. 

Movie Screening: Magnetosphere
Tuesday, February 3 at 6:00 PM
Join us for a movie night featuring Magnetosphere, a coming-of-age comedy about growing up neurodivergent with synesthesia. Written and directed by Boston resident Nicola Rose, this movie is an uplifting, family friendly treat with a timeless theme. Film critic Stephanie Malone says it’s “a love letter to those who see the world differently,” and Common Sense Media called it “a quirky, gentle coming-of-age story that will foster empathy and understanding of neurodivergence” (RottonTomatoes.com).

This film screening will also serve as a warm-up to the February 24 filmmaking workshop for teens and adults presented by Nicola Rose herself, so make sure to register the whole family for both events!

This 90-minute event is free and open to all ages. This independent film is not rated but is suitable for ages 10 and up. Please register online at www.seekonkpl.org/events. 

For more information, call Adult Services at the library at (508) 336-8230 or email teens@seekonkpl.org. 

All About Filmmaking Workshop
Tuesday, February 24 at 6:00 PM
Starting with storyboarding, independent filmmaker Nicola McEldowney (Nicola Rose, Magnetosphere) will walk us through all the steps to making an independent film. She’ll show brief clips from her own filmography as examples of finished products, and she’ll allow participants time to ask questions and even make their own storyboards and share ideas.

This workshop is preceded by our February 3 screening of Nicola’s brand new film Magnetosphere, a family-friendly coming-of-age story with an uplifting message, so make sure to join us for both of these events!

This 1-hour event is free and open to grades 6 through adult. Space is limited and registration is required at www.seekonkpl.org/events.
