Teen Programs & Events

Here are the updated Teen Programs for the School Year!

We have Teen Events on Wednesdays and Fridays. Read below to learn more about what you can expect each month.

Friday Evening Events from 6pm-8pm

Teen Game Night - SECOND Friday of the Month

Neon signs with gaming symbols and "TEEN Game Night" text on a brick wall background.

Teen Game Night is a fun time to hang with friends! We will set up our Nintendo Switch, pull out all our board games, get out snacks and treats, and have some fun. This event is after hours so we can make noise, play games, and eat our snacks without disturbing the rest of the library.

You must be between the ages of 12 and 19 to join us for this event.

Teen Tabletop - Every 1st and 3rd Friday

Tabletop RPGs for teens. Play classic games like D&D with some modern boardgames sprinkled in for good measure. Please contact Lindsey to join a group!

Wednesday Events from 2:30pm to 4pm

Wannabe Writers (14-18) - Every 2nd Wednesday

A drawing with the text "Wannabe writers," a laptop, and a pencil holder on lined paper background.

Wannabe writers is a writing group, but also a chill homework space. We will have snacks, listen to Lo-fi, and have an opportunity to share our work.

Chaotic Crafting- Every 3rd Wednesday

Colorful illustration with text "Chaotic Crafting," jars with art supplies like pencils, paintbrushes, scissors, and decorations.

Featuring a different craft each month. We've done buttons, bookmarks, dragon eggs, and tote bags...just to name a few! Check the calendar each month for each event.

Animanga Club - Every 4th Wednesday

Collage of a library, sleeping cat, "Animanga Club" text, and an animated character.

Are you interested in discovering new manga? Want to share your favorite Anime? Come to Animanga Club! We'll watch a new anime each month, do themed activities, and eat Japanese snacks.

Middle Grade Book Club

We combined our Book Club for Kids and Middle School Book Club into our Middle Grade Book Club (ages 10-13). We also have our YA Book Club (13+).

We meet at the library on the first Tuesday of the month at 4pm in the program room. Middle Grade Book Club goes for 45 minutes.

Young Adult Book Club

Currently on Hiatus.

Teen Library Council

Every LAST Friday from 4:30pm-5:30pm. We are still looking for awesome high schoolers (ages 14-18) to fill out our Teen Library Council. The council meets once a month to help plan activities for young adults at our library. Each of these meetings counts as volunteer hours and looks great on a resume! TLC meet
