• Supplies Cart - Our Supplies Cart will travel back into the teen space with us! The Supplies Cart has many items for teens to borrow and return (these items will be labeled) in addition to the items that are take-to-keep, including menstrual products, coloring pages and community flyers
• Whiteboard Panels - You will notice a green wall in the back of the new teen space that has glass-like panels. These panels are actually whiteboard walls! You will be able to use dry-erase markers to study, doodle and be creative! • Desktop Computers - In addition to having laptops, there will also be four (4) desktop computers available for teen use. If you do not have a library card to sign in, stop by the teen desk for a guest pass. Our new space is bright and fun with lots of room to study, hang out, play games and read. We hope to see you in the new teen space soon!
