Fun at the Library

By BECKY WEBER-JOHNSON Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - 8:07 p.m.

This Saturday the Hedberg Public Library will be hosting "Let the Rhythm Hit Em'". It's a breakdance contest - for both novice's and REAL breakdancers.

The event begins at 5:30p.m. and starts with a workshop of sorts for beginners of all ages. At first blush it's hard to see a connection. After last year's event the library found they had a new group of young people getting library cards and, more importantly, using them.

Have some time? Stop by and see what's happening! you can learn more at the Teen Central link on hedbergpubliclibrary.org.

Becky Weber-Johnson lives in Janesville with her husband, Tim, and without their children who are away at college. She is an account executive at WCLO/WJVL and is the Saturday morning host on WCLO. She volunteers at her church, with the Optimist club and SpotLight On Kids. Becky is a community blogger and her opinion is not necessarily that of the The Gazette staff or management.

Anything that gets PEOPLE (especially young people) into the library has EVERYTHING to do with your public library ... if people do not know what's in this beautiful building ... well, you do the math on that... :)
