Tuesday's holiday sparked the sweet teeth of the teenagers who came to the library's Valentine's Day candy-making workshop. Tables lined with chocolates, sprinkles, cocoa and crushed Oreo, dotting along the festive red tablecloths.
"We like to provide something at the library specifically for teens," Kayla Williams, teen librarian, said. On months with special occasions the events tend to focus on the specific holiday. Some of the other activities include craft programs. The library tries to hold teen-related events nearly every month.
Naturally, the candy-making had a great turnout. The teens melted chocolate in the microwave and spooned it into molds. After about five minutes in the freezer the shaped chocolates are released from their casings.
Others molded more pliable chocolate into small balls and rolled them in toppings to create truffles. The treats could then be packed into little boxes for taking home.
Something about chocolate makes smiling natural. And the holiday, for many, only adds to the sentiment.
Williams has been the teen librarian for the past year and a half, but the teen-related events have been around for a number of years. Their focus is to find ways to draw teens into the library and to work with them to develop their current interests and find others, as well.
