The Teen & Young Adult Department of the library works to provide a variety of materials, from books to graphic novels and downloadable audiobooks, available to our community. There are both regular monthly events and special events held each month at the library or within the attached Community Center. During the summer, the library organizes a summer reading program to help protect students from the "summer slide" and to give them a safe environment in which to meet.
Reach out to the librarian with any questions or concerns about the YA program!

High school and middle school students are encouraged to get in touch with the librarian to learn more about volunteer opportunities. There are both regularly scheduled events and special events that often need help with set-up, running, and clean-up. There are also opportunities for individual helping at the library and at-home projects.
Interested students may sign up here for one of our volunteer opportunities.
If the library does not have a book that you are looking for or you know of an upcoming release that you'd like the library to buy, let us know! Fill out the form online and the librarian will see your suggestion immediately.
Any book not selected for purchase can be requested through the library's interlibrary loan system at no charge!
