#Things to Do at the Library
Part Hangout Space, Part Study Space
Some library locations have dedicated computers for teens or even Teen Rooms, great for hanging out after school or meeting up with friends to study, and play games. For a quieter space, you can even Reserve a Study Room. Find your library branch under “Locations and Hours” to see what rooms are available to book.
Drop in for Games, Movies, Crafts, and More
Gamers: Be sure to check out the free resources and activities our Play Games at the Library page. Depending on your location, you might find a Dungeons & Dragons or other tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) rulebook on the shelf. You can even check out and play a board game (for in-library use). Some locations also have e-sports clubs, Super Smash Bros. Tournaments, and more.
Or, ask your librarian about Drop-In Dungeons & Dragons, Saturday Morning Cartooning, and other teen "drop-in activities" (note: not all of them are added to the online events calendar). Some happen every week or month. Many locations will offer printed calendars so you can keep track.
