TV Turn Off Week

April 23 - 29, 2007

Hopewell Public Library will be participating in a worldwide combined effort to encourage people to turn OFF their TVs for seven (7) days and to turn ON to the world around them.

TV-Turnoff Week is a chance to: Read, be more physically Active, converse, think, create and DO, rather than view. Please come to the Library on Monday April 23 to fill out a pledge card vowing to remain TV-Free for one week.

TV-free ideas will be provided and a special program entitled, "The Things a String can be", will be held on Thursday, April 26 at 3:45 pm. In addition, please enter our essay contest entitled, "My imagination takes me places where TV can't go . . .".

Blank quilt squares will be available at the Library so that we may make a TV free quilt for display at the Library.

The Center for Screen Time Awareness is also sponsoring an essay and poster contest which will offer prizes and a chance to have your design used on a poster or t-shirt for next year's TV-turnoff week organizer kit.

Hopewell Public Library Launches
"Who is Boo?"
Art - Essay - Poetry contest

HOPEWELL -

When the sidewalk was replaced in front of the Hopewell Public Library, the most mysterious thing happened! Somehow, the words “I Love Boo” magically appeared in one of the new sidewalk squares. This has left the library patrons, Hopewell residents, and visitors from far and wide wondering: Who is Boo?

So, in the spirit of exploring the unknowable, and in celebration of ART as a key to life’s great mysteries, the Hopewell Public Library is holding an Art – Poetry – Short Story Contest entitled Who is Boo?.

Complete contest rules and deadlines are available at the Library and at the the HPL Blog "Planet Boo" (see HPL links to the right) or by going to the HPL "Planet Boo" Blog at: http://fortheloveofboo.blogspot.com/
