Welcome to Metro Teens!
Your local library is lit. No cap.
Okay. Okay. You got us. We might not be hip on the lingo of the 2020s, but we do know that there's so much the Metropolitan Library System can offer guests from the ages of 13-19. And guess who those guests are? YOU!
Here's just a sampling of the free stuff you didn't know you could do at your library:
• Hang out with friends at teen-centered events
• Volunteer for great experience (and service hours ?)
• Use Wi-Fi and charge your phone
• Have a Safe Place if you need help
• Read comics and manga - the hoopla collection is next level!
• Download audiobooks and ebooks with Libby
• Reserve a study room at almost every Metro Library location
• Ask a librarian about homework or research help
• Design something at your nearest Makerspace (they have 3D printers...we repeat 3D printers!)
• Play video and board games
• Find resume help and job search support
• Check out study guides, prepare for ACT, or even *the driver's test*
Explore more to do at any of our 19 locations today!
Upcoming Events
For those who have never quilled or for those who are experienced, come enjoy quilling a heart or bring one of you own quilling projects to work on!
Plus: Share ideas and projects you have done.
The OKC Mobile Market offers fresh produce to residents of Oklahoma County at no cost. We know that access to fresh fruit and vegetables is a barrier for many folks in the community, not only due to food deserts, but also the rising cost of food.
CANCELLED: Seeds of Change: A Black History Month Land & Legacy Workshop
Join us for this hands-on workshop to explore the rich agricultural history and cultural impact of African Americans on farming and land stewardship - from the self-sustaining Black towns of the late 1800s to modern food justice movements.

For six years, a group of Oklahoma City black kids went into restaurants and asked for service. It never got violent; never made national news; but together, they turned around every restaurant except one before the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
