Exam Time

Use the library space for individual study or group review while you prepare for your midterms.  We'll provide a different snack and warm drink each day at the reference desk.  It's amazing what a few hours of study in the library will do to keep you focused and on task for midterms!

Tuesday January 20 through Friday January 23 for teens only 

Holiday Crafts

Teens in grades 6-12 are invited to visit the Teen Area and grab a Take & Make kit for a holiday ornament/decoration. Only one per teen please.

Week 1, Dec. 1 - 7: Fabric Ornaments

RIMSBA/RITBA BOOKS

There is a shelf in the middle of the Teen Area towards the back that has all of the current RIMSBA and RITBA nominees. There is a vote in February for the best one, so be sure to read a few so you can vote on your favorite when the time comes. 


Teen Event

For teens in grades 6-12.

Join us in creating gas-powered high flying machines outdoors! Mobile Quest will be here to show you how. A great interactive program!

This program is outdoors, therefore weather dependent. Please register today, as spots are limited! 

Your Space is BACK

Tables and chairs have returned to the Teen Area! Study, peer-tutor, read, or just hang out. Be on the lookout for a few changes - new games to play, and an entire new Middle School (grades 6-8) reading section. The collection will be shifted a bit in the weeks to come! If you have book suggestions or Teen Area ideas or requests, please let us know!

Book Box

Love the idea of a book box subscription? 

Fill out our form in the YA area and let us pick your next book.  You check out the box, keep the gifts, read the book and let us know how we did.  Return the box, the filler, the library book and the response card and keep the rest.  


Due to high demand, we are limiting teens to one box per month.  Thank you!
