Upcoming Teen Programs
Join us Thursday, 6/18 at 4 PM for a fun hour of Jackbox Games online! 

We'll meet online and play a few rounds of Jackbox games, including Trivia Murder Party, Quiplash 2, and Guesspionage. If you haven't played before don't worry. We'll explain how it works and the games are easy to play.  

What you will need to play:
  • a device (computer, phone or tablet) to join the virtual meeting
  • you will also need a second device to use as your game controller, OR you can open a second browser window on your computer.  
You must register in advance so that the meeting link can be sent out to you a few hours ahead of time.

Earn community service hours and help the library better serve teens by participating in our Teen Advisory Board (TAB) online meeting. 

At this meeting we'll discuss how you can help as a TAB member, and you'll learn about other opportunities to volunteer for the library this summer. We'll also go over the details of our new online summer reading program.
As a TAB participant, you can help us make decisions about the library, suggest activities you'd like us to offer, give feedback on books we should purchase, and more. If we have time we may even play a game.

This is the first of three monthly meetings this summer.
TAB is open to teens in grades 7-12. 

Registration is required. A link to the virtual meeting will be sent ahead of time to everyone who signs up.
