Do you consider yourself an expert on Taylor Swift? Do you know obscure trivia and feel confident you have what it takes?

Come to the library and solve an escape room about Taylor Swift, slightly spooky because it's our favorite time of the year: Halloween! Solve puzzles, decipher clues, and race against the ticking clock. 

All materials provided. This program is designed for grades 6th-12th only.

Join the Teen Advisory Committee (TAC): Lead, Serve, and Create!

Want to make your voice heard and help shape what happens at your library? The Stratford Branch Library is looking for motivated teens to join the Teen Advisory Committee (TAC)—a team of young leaders who help connect local youth with the library and the wider community.

As a TAC member, you won’t just attend meetings—you’ll help plan programs, influence decisions, and create a better space for teens through service, advocacy, and leadership.
