Teens

Teen Book Club has transformed into Read It and Eat! It's a book club with a twist--during book club, you create something yummy based on this month's theme and then feast. This month, the theme is Scary Books and Banned Books. Chat about your favorite books while making Terrifying Treats and making Banned Books Book Bags! 

Readers of manga, graphic novels, books, and audiobooks are welcome! Even if you haven't read anything new lately, you can still join us! This program is for readers ages 13-18.

Want to show off your cosplay? Want a chance to wear your Halloween costume to the library? Dress up and become a living chess piece. Will you live and capture the King or die trying? 

You don't need to know anything about chess!  Chess players are welcome as we will need some to control the game pieces. 

This program is for teens in middle and high school. 

Are you going to be cosplaying a K-Pop star this Halloween? Wear your cosplay to this month's club. We will be listening to spooky K-Pop songs and eating Korean snacks. 

This program is for teens in middle and high school. 

Do you have a child in kindergarten through 3rd grade who loves stories—or one who could use a little extra reading support?

Join us for an evening of tabletop gaming! We have games available or BYOG (Bring Your Own Game)!
