Teen Programs & Events

Here are the updated Teen Programs for the School Year!

We have Teen Events on 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, November 14th

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, November 7th and 21st

Logo with text "TEEN TABLETOP" and a 20-sided die beneath.

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! 

Teen Library Council - Canceled November 28th

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!

Middle Grade Book Club 

Contact Lindsey:

Middle Grade Book Club (ages 10-13) meets the first Tuesday of every month at 4pm and goes for about 45 minutes. It always includes a simple activity relating to the story. 

We will meet at the library on 11/4 at 4pm to chat about "You Are Here: Connecting Flights".

Our next book is "A Rover's Story" by Jasmine Warga! We will talk about this unique sci-fi story on 12/2.

Book cover for "A Rover's Story" by Jasmine Warga; shows a space rover on rocky terrain with a drone above.

Meet Resilience, a Mars rover determined to live up to his name.

Res was built to explore Mars. He was not built to have human emotions. But as he learns new things from the NASA scientists who assemble him, he begins to develop humanlike feelings. Maybe there’s a problem with his programming….

Human emotions or not, launch day comes, and Res blasts off to Mars, accompanied by a friendly drone helicopter named Fly. But Res quickly discovers that Mars is a dangerous place filled with dust storms and giant cliffs. As he navigates Mars’s difficult landscape, Res is tested in ways that go beyond space exploration.

As millions of people back on Earth follow his progress, will Res have the determination, courage, and resilience to succeed…and survive?
