Weepytimes


The fall equinox is this Friday guys, but it kind of feels like fall has already fell. Leaves are changing, everybody has on socks and sweaters, and you can get pumpkin flavored ANYTHING.

When the weather and the light and colors start to turn like this I always feel like it's a good time to indulge a little romantic melancholy. I'm not talking about buried-under-the-covers unbearable sadness, that doesn't come around until February. I mean letting yourself listen to a few sad songs, watch a few sad movies, and curl up with a sad, sad book.

We've got a whole huge display of them here in the Teen Room. Grab one, take a deep breath of the crisp autumn air (before it turns into frigid winter air, and you can't take a deep breath or your snot will freeze in your nose), and let the tears flow.

Great Moments in Graduation History, Part Stupendous

You guys.

Congratulations, Class of 2011!  It has been a pleasure and an honor getting to know you (even the stuff we know about you that you don't know we know -- 'cause you talk loud, man...)

We do know you worked hard and are reaping the benefits; all week long I've been hearing about college plans and it's fantastic!

Stay in touch and let us know how you fare out there in the world!



(You can't tell from this trailer, but this movie is totally about graduation.  Also, a pen makes an excellent gift.)

Great Moments In Graduation History



It is officially nice out, summer is officially in sight, the countdown to graduation has OFFICIALLY BEGUN.

To celebrate juniors become seniors and seniors becoming DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL FOREVER we're going to be running a new series on the blog called "Great Moments in Graduation History". Book reviews, movie clips and sad sad songs - all on the theme of graduation, new lives and saying goodbye.

Keep checking back, and leave your suggestions for great moments in the comments. And seniors? Don't forget to drop by the Teen Room and say goodbye to your Teen Librarians before you set off into the world. We'll miss your loud mouths.
