JAY — There is still time to sign up for the Jay-Niles Memorial Library teen summer reading program, “Get Your Green On.”

Teens who sign up for the program will receive a reusable tote bag. Each time a teen brings in their tote bag to take out or return books, they will be put in a drawing for a flip video recorder. For every hour read this summer, the teen’s name will go in a drawing for an iPod Touch.

Also, for every hour read, the librarian will add items to a nature mural and will print the teen’s name on the item. There will not be individual charts; the group’s progress will be charted. Magazines, comic books, graphic novels and newspapers also count for reading. Teens may also bring in photos of nature throughout the summer to put on display.

The reading program kicked off on June 15 with a program by Jennifer Armstrong. She talked about Julia Butterfly Hill and her “green kit” and shared songs and stories. She also introduced the idea of “seven steps for seven generations” and played a number of instruments, including bagpipes, Native American drum, guitar, fiddle and banjo.

Other activities include:

Tuesday, June 22, at 6 p.m. Kim LaRoche will present an origami workshop. Teens will make creations based on objects or creatures in the natural world.

Thursday, July 1, at 1 p.m. Those interested in going on a nature walk will meet at the North Jay Granite Park, walk on the one-mile trail and take a peek at the granite quarry. For directions, visit the Town of Jay website at www.jay-maine.org/granite-park.html. Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes.

Thursday, July 8, at 1 p.m. Make a nature print, weather permitting. The white and blue prints are made by taking objects from nature and placing them flat on sun sensitive paper. The items will be left in the sun for a few minutes, then the paper is put in water and then dried flat to develop.

Thursday, July 15, at 2 p.m. Make recycled paper using scrap paper, newspaper, leaves, a blender, a bucket, water, a square pan, window screen, rolling pins, a measuring cup, tea towels and natural dyes.

Monday, July 19, at 6:30 p.m. Children’s and young adult author Anne Sibley O’Brien will visit the library. O’Brien lives on an island off the coast of Maine. She has illustrated 25 picture books, some with collaborators and some she has authored herself. She often collaborates with Margy Burns Knight of Winthrop and has also collaborated with Juanita Havill on Jamaica’s Find and six other Jamaica books.

Her visit will focus on her new young adult book, “After Gandhi: One Hundred Years of Non-Violent Resistance,” a collaboration with her son Perry Edmond O’Brien. The book contains 15 portraits of social activists. The visit will focus in part on Wangari Maathai and the Greenbelt Movement, but also on social and environmental activism in general.

The library will also offer a common reading of the book “Hoot,” by Carl Hiaasen. A limited supply of the books have been purchased. Those interested should sign up at the library. The film will be shown at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 27, followed by a discussion.
