Hey there, this is the Teen Page! If you look below you’ll find resources for all sorts of topics and links for sites that can help you out with homework.
The library offers lots of things for teens to do. If you just want a place to spend time with your friends outside of the house, we have The Hangout which was designed just for that, and is right next to the Teen books! We also have plenty of programs to do if you are bored out of your gourd, and, of course, we have plenty of new books and graphic novels (including manga). Ask us how you can use our digital studio to make a podcast like one of your favorites or make your own videos.
What do you want at the library? Would you like a million dollars or video games or no school? Please tell us (AKA fill out the Suggestion Form).
