Cafe Book
CRRL instructors partner with school librarians to facilitate book discussion on a selection of current teen literature. Students learn and practice critical evaluation skills. Grades 7 & 8 only. Please email Darcie Caswell at darcie.caswell@crrl.org  for more information.

Teen Art Show
Students demonstrate creativity and artistic talent and learn exhibition skills by submitting their work for a month-long exhibit at Fredericksburg Branch. Students in grades 11 and 12 also develop critical evaluation skills by judging the work of younger participants. Grades 9-12 only.

Claudia Emerson Teen Poetry Contest
Students clarify, extend, or elaborate on ideas, using vivid language such as imagery, figurative language, and sound elements, by creating and submitting original poetry. Winners are invited to read their work at CRRL's Teen Poetry Night.

Teen Stop Motion Contest
Stop motion is a film making technique that makes inanimate objects appear to move on their own. This is accomplished by taking an image of a still object, moving the object a tiny bit, then taking another image. Grades 9-12 only.

Find and contact your designated library partner for middle and high school. If you have questions or want to schedule a class, please email your school’s liaison.
