Teen Programs

Welcome to Teen’scape

The library features an area that is designed to meet the needs of older youth and teens. This dedicated space is called Teen’scape and it offers a retreat-like environment that includes individual listening stations, comfortable chairs and furnishings, and reading and audio selections specific to teen interests. 

In addition to a dedicated space at the library, we offer all types of programs and activities such as teen author presentations, mystery plays, movie series, and special demonstrations.

Each district sends two players; but who will survive The Hunger Games?

 

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

In a future North America, where the rulers of Panem maintain control through an annual televised survival competition pitting young people from each of the twelve districts against one another, sixteen-year-old Katniss's skills are put to the test when she voluntarily takes her younger sister's place.

 

 
 

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
 

By winning the annual Hunger Games, District 12 tributes Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark have secured a life of safety and plenty for themselves and their families, but because they won by defying the rules, they unwittingly become the faces of an impending rebellion. 

 

 

 

 

 Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she’s made it out of the bloody arena alive, she’s still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what’s worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss’s family, not her friends, not the people of District 12.
