Teens

Students spend only 20% of their day in the classroom. To inspire curiosity and a life-long love of learning, educational development must occur outside of school hours, especially as teens begin to make decisions that will impact their futures. Donor investment helps the Library provide online and physical spaces just for teens. Staff can help with research, studying and learning new skills.

Here is what your generosity provides:

  • $14 can buy a teen book. Teens can explore recommendations for the best titles in young adult fiction and non-fiction.
  • $75 can deliver one session of an online or in-person program for teens.
    From exploring the world of Artificial Intelligence, to countering misinformation online, to acting techniques or even skills for landing their first job, the Library offers programs designed specifically for teen audiences.
  • $100 can purchase supplies for the Teen Tech Lab. In this creative technology space, teens are encouraged to experiment and learn new skills that will support them in school and beyond.
  • $700 can purchase a robotics kit to help teens learn coding. Coding skills open doors to creativity, connection and career development. Donor support enables teens to learn this valuable skill from experts at the Library.
