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!
