FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Teen Hangout?
The Teen Hangout is a drop-in hangout space for teens in grades 6-12. We have laptops, video games, table top games and snacks. The Teen Hangout is typically open during the afternoons during the school year. See our event calendar for dates and times.

I am a teen; may I get my own library card?
Yes! Once you are aged 13+ you do not need a parent or guardian with you to get your own library card. Bring your photo ID with you to the circulation desk. If you do not have a photo ID, please contact the Circulation desk to find out other ways we can verify your information.

Where are the teen books located?
The Teen books are located on the main floor of the library. Our teen graphic novels and teen fiction are shelved in their own area. If you are looking for an audiobook or non-fiction book, they are shelved with the regular audiobooks and non-fiction books, just look for the “Teen” stick on the spine label!

How do I sign up for teen programs?
Most of our programs typically do not require signups, but on occasion we may require sign ups due to limited space and supplies. If a program advertisement indicates that signups are required, then simply visit the Reference Desk in order to sign up for the program.
