Join the Page Turners Book Club for Kids at the Douglass-Truth Library!

This fun book group for youth ages 9 to 12 meets every third Tuesday of the month from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. for a discussion of great books and yummy snacks. You can pick up a copy of this month’s book at the Douglass-Truth Library at 2300 E. Yesler.

The book for Oct. 21 is “Coraline” by Nail Gaiman, a spooky story just in time for Halloween! Looking for excitement, Coraline ventures through a mysterious door into a world that is similar, yet disturbingly different from her own, where she must challenge a gruesome entity in order to save herself, her parents, and the souls of three others.

November’s book is “The Westing Game” by Ellen Raskin and January’s book is “The Devil’s Arithmetic” by Jane Yolen. (There’s no meeting in December.)

For more information, please call us at the Douglass-Truth Library at 206-684-4704. Check www.spl.org for more information about book groups at other locations of The Seattle Public Library.

The Seattle Public Library hires students age 16 and older to work as Student Assistants, but applications are only accepted two months out of the year—and one of those months is October. You can find more information and the application packet at www.spl.org – click on Library Careers.

You can also increase your chances of getting hired by attending a FREE WORKSHOP ON THE STUDENT ASSISTANT APPLICATION PROCESS at the Douglass-Truth Branch (2300 E. Yesler) on Monday, October 13, from 4-6. No need to sign up for the workshop, but if you have questions call the Douglass-Truth Branch at 206-684-4704.

The workshop doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get one of the jobs, but it will cover how the recruitment process works, how to understand the qualifications, and how to prepare an effective application. Jobs are available at various branches throughout the city. Even if you don’t get a Student Assistant job this time around, the workshop will help you do a better job on future applications for any job.

The library Student Assistant job is an awesome one—great pay ($11.55/hour), flexible hours, plus you’ll get a sneak peek at all the great books that are coming in!
