Chopped Culinary Challenge for Teens

Teens, ages 12-18, are invited to join us in the Main Auditorium on Tuesday, November 20, from 3 to 5 p.m., for the Library’s “Chopped” culinary program.

Just like the show of the same name, this event will be divided into three courses: appetizer, main course, and dessert. In each round, teens will be given several ingredients that must be incorporated into the specified course. Teens will also have the full use of the Rodman Chopped Pantry to complete their dish. Participants will work in teams of three or four to complete each round. A panel of three persons will then judge the round.

Limited to 24 participants, so registration is required. Stop by the Reference Desk or call 330-821-2665, ext. 211, to register. This program is supported by the Friends of Rodman Library.

Teen Writing Club to Meet

The Teen Writing Club meets on every other Wednesday of the month (go to www.rodmanlibrary.com for specific dates). For ages 12-18, the purpose of this group is to meet with fellow teen writers to work on writing exercises and hone skills. Any teen can join. Share work with the group if desired. The next meetings will be on November 14 and 28, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., in the Main Auditorium. No registration is needed. For more information, call the Main Library at 330-821-2665, ext. 213.

Teen After-Hours Nerf Challenge
