For teens
The library is a place for you to be you.
Hang out with your friends. Have some time to yourself. Ask us a question, or tell us how it’s going.
Join a book club. Do an activity. Get creative.
Use the computer. Get help with research. Learn about technical school, college, and whatever you aspire to be.
And oh yeah, check out a book.

Looking to get involved? We have different volunteer tasks available at different locations and different times. In the past, teen volunteers have helped with shelving and pulling books, tutoring, prepping for crafts, and more. This program is for all tweens and teens in grades 6 – 12.
