Teen Central is a room on the 3rd floor of the Central Library where everything is reserved just for teens age 13-18. Teens have tons of room for studying, hanging out, group meetups, and more. Want to hold an event or meetup in our space? Let staff know if you need any support like TV, sound, reserved tables, supplies, or snacks! Teen Central has the same hours as the library, and is staffed at all times, so reach out at the desk if you need help.
