Teens are also welcome to drop by anytime to use the makerspace, play games, solve scavenger hunts, or check out a book or Playaway.
"I am thrilled to have a growing group of enthusiastic teens utilizing the Teen Room to do homework, visit with friends, read, and participate in programs," said Amy Lemelin, Teen Librarian.
