This is a sample of the technology the TEEN ZONE offers its teen patrons.

The Teen Zone has a great collection for teens of fiction and nonfiction books, books on tape/CD, magazines, graphic novels/manga and games for teens. Check out the special displays highlighting new books! (And btw, the Teen Librarian gets a lot of ideas from what the Library buys from the teens themselves! If you have a great idea for something the Teen Zone should own contact the Teen Librarian!)

See the Teen Events page for this month’s events.

Services for teens include special programming and a teen volunteer program, coordinated by the Teen Services Librarian.

• Filmmaking Workshop presented by independent filmmakers from LA

The Teen Volunteers @ the Library contribute a lot to the Teen Zone as well as the programming for teens. They make book recommendations, create displays, help put on events for teens at the library, help with events for younger children, and work on special projects.
