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.
If you would like to Volunteer, please apply here: https://forms.gle/Zgp8cy3y5WkdTAy16
And have your parent/guardian fill out this Consent Form: https://forms.gle/6q5zqHTKmCsYmz1JA

In addition to filling out the forms above, all tech tutors must receive training prior to volunteering at the Tech Help (from teens) program.  Trainings are offered several times a year, and any eligible teens will be contacted when the next training is scheduled.
