Anti-Valentine’s Day Party!

Crowell Public Library Invites Teens to our
Anti-Valentine’s Day Party!
Barth Community Room
February 12 at 3:30 pm

Middle School and High School students (grades 7-12) from the San Gabriel Valley region are invited to the Crowell Public Library’s first-ever Anti- Valentine’s Day Party on Friday, February 12th.

An Anti-Valentine’s Day party is a perfect venue for teens to creatively thumb their noses at commercial excess—there will be several activities, including making hilarious anti-valentines and writing break-up story mad-libs. They’ll have a blast poking fun at romance novel covers—we will provide color copies for teens to add illustrations and colorful comments. We will enjoy broken-heart cookies, chocolates and other sweets—after all, treats are the only redeeming feature of Valentine’s Day!

Teens don’t need to be single to join this party—they are encouraged to bring friends, including significant others, and enjoy mocking commercial stereotypes of romance. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Crowell Public Library.
