Creating a positive environment and healthy connections with teens

The teen years mark important developmental milestones in brain, social and emotional development. Our teen services help teens not only explore and strengthen their interests but also forge meaningful relationships with others.

Foster a love of reading and imagination at the library.

We offer a teen collection geared especially for teens including fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, manga, audiobooks and magazines. Also, our teen-centered events are a constructive way to engage with peers in a welcoming atmosphere. Study rooms and comfortable seating make for great hangout spots, too.

Movie Time
Do you love watching stories brought to life on the big screen? Invite your friends to come and watch a movie in a space just for teens. Snacks provided!
Game Night
Compete for prizes with themed trivia nights, Escape Rooms, traditional board games, jigsaw puzzle competitions and role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons, Starfinder and Cyberpunk Red. Gamers can also battle it out at one of our regular video game events.
