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.
