Services for Teens
We have a variety of junior and young adult books. We also have a selection of age-appropriate movies. We also offer Wii games to enjoy in the library. We have basketballs, soccer balls, and pickleball sets to check out! Ask the librarian how to check out ebooks through Bridges on your mobile devices.
Come by for our Teen Events! We have popcorn! Catch up with us on Facebook! (It's old, I know! Maybe you can teach us how to use TikTok.)
Kid & Teen Hang
On alternating Thursdays (Wednesdays, starting in June), bring your friends and siblings to the library for some "hang" time. The library will offer games and activities which may include a craft or a STEM activity. We also have popcorn at Kid & Teen hang! This is a time for kids and teens of all ages to have a safe place to hang out after school, learn something new, or create something awesome.
Summer Reading
Our library is hosting Summer Reading for library patrons of all ages in June and July. To participate in Summer Reading, fill out reading tickets to record the days during which you read. When a reading ticket is filled up, you can submit it into a prize drawing at the library. You can also fill out special tickets for participating in various library events. Stop in the library to get your reading tickets and start participating! Children and teens may pick out a mini prize just for completing reading tickets. There will be one prize drawing held for June, and one for July. Make sure to turn in your tickets by June 30 and July 31!
Author Zooms in June
In June, join our library for a series of Zoom meetings with authors as part of the state's All Iowa Reads program. This is a unique opportunity for the state to read books and discuss altogether. Adults are welcome to attend any author Zoom meetings, regardless of the target audience of the books. Teens will enjoy the Zoom with T.L. Simpson on Wednesday, June 24. Stick around after the Zoom for our Kid & Teen Hang! Contact the library for questions.
