TEEN SUMMER READING INFO
Summer is here at last. As the temperature rises, Woonsocket Harris Public Library Teen department starts up the Summer Reading Challenge. Don’t worry, it is not that challenging. It’s open to anyone in Middle School or High School and they can win prizes for every book they read. That is all you have to do, read books and report back on what you have read. Pick any book that you want, even those that are not from the library. When you read a book, you will automatically be entered in a weekly prize drawing. We’ve restocked the Steampunk Book Cart with fresh books, but you’ll want to get there before all the best books are gone. This summer promises to be the best ever. To sign up all you have to do is stop by the Teen desk or ask at the Children’s Room and start reading!

 

Dungeons and Dragons for Teens    Tuesdays 3:00-4:30pm

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is calling Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem a "stone-cold liar." In a press conference Thursday regarding the fatal shooting of a woman by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Jeffries said the killing was an "abomination." He went on, saying blood is on the hands of the Trump administration officials who have pushed an extreme immigration policy.        Vice President JD Vance has announced a new assistant attorney general position whose sole job will be investigating government fraud across the U.S. Vance told White House reporters today the initial focus of the person will be to investigate the alleged Medicaid fraud in Minnesota and then move nationwide. Vance said this assistant AG will also look into networks of fraud connected to terrorists.        The first of two cross country storms is heading East with millions facing the threat of severe weather and floods. The storm is moving out of the Four Corners region with Missouri and Kansas seeing downpours today, while a tornado has been confirmed in Oklahoma. The system will move through the Midwest throughout today.        President Trump says he may take action soon on the "AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act." While appearing on the Hugh Hewitt show, Trump said the act is very important, and a lot of people don't know a lot about it. The legislation would require all new passenger vehicles to have AM radio as standard equipment, because it's crucial for emergency alerts when other communication systems fail.        NASA says the ISS crew will make an early return to Earth because of a medical situation with one crew member. NASA announced at a news conference Thursday the un-named crew member is stable. The agency had already postponed a spacewalk scheduled for Thursday because of the medical issue.        The College Football Playoff resumes tonight with the first semifinal matchup. Number ten Miami will take on number six Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. The winner will face off in the National Championship against the victor of tomorrow's Peach Bowl between number five Oregon and number one Indiana.
