Don't Forget a Selfie
The East Hampton Library wants teens in high school to make the best of a beautiful season with its Fall Bucket List Challenge. Here's how it works: capture memorable moments from the library's list in selfies and email them to the young adult librarians. That's it!
The bucket list includes pumpkin picking, carving a jack o'lantern, hiking, watching a scary movie, navigating a corn maze, and other fun fall activities. The email address for submissions is [email protected].
The deadline is Nov. 1. Those who complete the entire list will receive a BookHampton gift card and will be entered into a raffle to win a Fujifilm mini camera.
The East Hampton Library is also offering teens a community service opportunity on Monday: decorating the young adult room by painting pumpkins to display. Masks and social distancing will be required for the painting session, which is from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
