#What would a library made just for teens look like?
Your library has the best (and newest) young adult books and an extensive collection of comics, graphic novels and manga. If you don't see what you need on the shelf, just ask! Another library probably has it and we can send it to your location! Plus, your library card or student ID gives you instant access to FREE streaming movies, e-books and so much more with apps like Libby, Hoopla and Kanopy on your phone!
#Part hangout space, part study space
Did you know you can book a quiet study room at the library? Some branches even have dedicated teen rooms and computers. Find your branch under “Locations and Hours” to reserve a study room.
You can also get homework and research help online, level up and learn new software and skills with LinkedIn Learning, and set yourself up for success in college (and in your career) with Peterson’s Test Prep. It’s all FREE with your library card.
