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.

Need a little extra help with your computer, tablet, or smartphone? Bring your questions to the High Meadows Library for our Technology Help Session!

Our staff will work with you one-on-one to build confidence and improve your digital skills. Whether you’re just getting started or want to explore new features, we’re here to help.
