Myths and Legends Day: October 11, 2021 This article is not currently visible on the website.

By Mandy, Teen Services Associate

For as long as humanity has existed, we’ve spun tales of great warriors, terrifying monsters and powerful gods. Every culture on earth has their own stories that have withstood the test of time to be retold again and again throughout generations. Myths and Legends Day is a celebration of the uniquely human desire to explain the unknown through inspiring and entertaining stories of heroes, villains and mystical things just beyond our understanding. Celebrate Myths and Legends Day at the Library by checking out these Young Adult adaptations of Norse, Greek, Chinese and African myths. Teens are sure to love these tales of young heroes who embark on dangerous quests to overcome great challenges and reach their goals. They learn and grow along the way, and by the end of the of their journey, make their own mark on history and become a legend.

You can find these and many other great titles in our catalog. If you would like more recommendations, please stop by the Youth Services Desk, call 630/393-1171 x124 or email youthservices@warrenville.com.

Earn Volunteer Hours at Home by Reading, Crafting and Writing!

It's hard for teenagers to find volunteer opportunities right now, so we’ve come up with a great way to earn hours from home and have fun doing it!

If you're a bookworm and enjoy telling others about what you’ve read, consider writing a book review! Tell us about your most recent reads by filling out a Book Review Form. Reviews will be shared with others so you’ll be helping your community find their next favorite book. Each review is worth one volunteer hour. Write about books you’ve checked out from WPLD or read from another source.

If you like craft projects or just want to try something new, sign up for our Teen Take & Make Craft Kits this spring. Kits come complete with everything you will need to make a Recycled Book Hedgehog and/or a beautiful Paper Flower Bouquet! Earn one volunteer hour by filling out a Craft Review Form. Tell us what you thought about the craft to give us ideas for future projects. Send us photos of your finished creations so we can share them at the Library and on social media.

Completed forms are due May 28. For more information about these volunteer opportunities, go to Teen Volunteer Hours.

If you have any questions about teen volunteer hours, call Teen Services Associate Mandy at 630/393-1171 x124 or email youthservices@warrenville.com.
