New Teen Area!
Grades 6-12 your new teen space is ready for you to come and hang out! We have plenty of chairs for you to sit and chat with friends. There are two tables that are great for homework, studying, or projects. The shelves are still a little bare but once renovation is complete, we will have them filled back up with all of the teen books from storage. The books are for everyone to look and check out, however, the seating is reserved for 6th - 12th graders. We hope to see you here and in your new space! Sharlene, Teen Librarian |
