Teen
Our Teen Department is full of opportunities for getting involved. Help us plan programs and community events by joining the Teen Advisory Board, or come join in the fun by participating in any of the number of activities we offer.
Neither of these spark your interest? Search no more and join the Teen Tech group where we learn robotics from the Library’s Technology Librarian. You can find dates for programs and book reviews, in addition to an application for the Teen Advisory Board.
