In anticipation of BBCAmerica's airing of new "Doctor Who" episodes beginning March 30th ,
Greenwich Library will host an event spotlighting the Doctor beginning at 7:00
pm on Thursday, March 28th in the second
floor Meeting Room.
Students from grades 7-12 are welcomed to dress as their favorite character from the series and take part in showing off your own handmade "Sonic Screwdriver", TARDIS and other gadgets. At 7:20, we'll air an episode of the series from our DVD collection that attendees will pick. For more info, call (203) 622-7918. See you all there!
This FREE 4-hour program covers 2 of the ACT's four sections.
For the math portion, you will review those components from the SAT math seminar that are most relevant to the ACT. You will see how the tricks, tools and techniques can be applied to ACT questions, and you will learn a few additional math relationships that are specific to the ACT.
From there you will move on to the science section, and learn that this section is less a test of science than one would think. You will cover the different types of passages (there are 3) and the ways to attack the passage types. You will also learn that this is more a test of your ability to organize and research, and we'll show you some ways to enhance your skills as they apply to the test.
The program is free but registration is required. Contact Teen Services Librarian Margaret Walsh at mwalsh@greenwichlibrary.org or 622-7915 if you have any questions.

Two $250 cash prizes will be awarded, one for grades 6-8 and one for grades 9-12, to students whose essays are judged to be the best in answering the question: How does your reading of When the Emperor was Divine (or Eyes of the Emperor) affect your thinking about prejudice toward immigrants and other minorities in the United States today? In your response, you may want to consider other historical moments of scapegoating. The deadline to submit your essay is April 24, 2013. See details here.
