The Reading Public Library had a fun event with their TAG (Teen Advisory Group) recently. It was the annual Holiday Party and it was called "Sweets and Swaps." Students brought sweets and a Yankee swap gift under $5.00. There was an incredible turnout of 14 students (and only 1 boy in the group). Hot chocolate, juice and lots of sweets were provided. Students also provided apple cider and even more sweets. The swap was a lot of fun (the students said this!!). Items included: lots of candy & chocolate, jewelry, a magic eight ball, books and other fun holiday items.
