Teen 100-Books Challenge

Book and Movie Club!

Join Our Teen Book & Movie Club!

Was the Book Better?

You’ve heard it said many times before, “The book was better than the movie!” But was it really?  Read the book to find out, then join us for Book and Movie Club!  In addition to a lively discussion of the chosen book, teens will participate in themed snacks, a raffle, and watch a movie adaption together, and then discuss their opinion on the differences!

“Think Like the Banned” Community Service Project

Teen Tech Tutors

In the Tech Help (from teens) program, teen volunteers will meet in the Tech Center to teach library patrons how to use their mobile devices and answer simple computer questions.  The program typically takes place on the first and third Thursday of each month, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m, as well as one Saturday from 10:00am to 12:00pm and one Sunday from 2:00pm to 4:00pm each month. Two to four tutors will be scheduled for each session.  Teens will earn community service credit.
