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.
If you like to write and want feedback on your writing skills, consider joining the Young Adult Writers' Alliance (YAWA).We meet every Tuesday, 4-6 p.m. in the meeting room at the library. The group is open to ages 13 to 18. We offer a relaxed environment for peer review and discussion of original works. New writers always welcome. For more information, contact: Becky Pabst
Our online tutoring service is available year-round, 7 days a week for students in grades 4 - 12 (including College Introductory) This service provides students help with math, science, language arts and social studies.
