Spend time with friends and make new ones while engaging in fun activities for teens. We offer a variety of events throughout the year. Play virtual or tabletop games, join our Youth Advisory Council, create original works of art, and pick up new skills and hobbies. Unless otherwise indicated, all events are open to teens in Grades 6–12. Most of our events require registration, which begins on the 15th of the month prior to the month of the event.
Now’s your chance to be a leader in your community by helping plan what teens do at the library! Pizza and pop is served at every meeting. Also, regular members can attend semi-annual overnight lock-ins right here at the library! YAC meetings are held on the second Tuesday every month from 6–7 pm.
Fill out the YAC application form to receive reminders about upcoming YAC meetings.
Hang out with your friends, eat cookies, and have something hot or cold to drink (depending on the season!). Also, expect the unexpected with a new game, craft, or activity each time! Cafe Ole is on the second Tuesday each month from 7–8 pm.
Every summer, the library puts on a play for young children and families starring local teens. It is a tradition going back over twenty years with hundreds of teens participating!
Auditions are held at the end of May or the beginning of June, and every teen who auditions gets a role in the play! Rehearsals are four hours long, twice per week for six weeks. The performances take place on a Friday and Saturday in the middle of July.
If acting is not your thing, you can also help out backstage. Our crew helps out with scene changes, props, music, and lights.
Fairy Tale Theatre is open to all teens entering Grade 7 through finishing Grade 12.
Learn different painting and drawing styles and explore different media to create original two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art. Some classes include step-by-step instructions while others encourage open-ended exploration.
Throughout the year, we offer a variety of DIY and craft events for teens, including origami, gardening, sewing, bath bombs, and much more.
Some of our best events are the ones where we can sit and talk about our favorite books, TV shows, movies, and video games. It's the perfect opportunity to meet other teens who share the same tastes and interests.
From movie night to game nights, we offer a variety of pop culture and entertainment events for teens. Gaming includes tabletop and board games, group games, trivia, escape rooms, computer and video games, and indoor and outdoor games. We also host TV and movie watching events where teens can hang out with friends and enjoy drinks and snacks.
