A Month-Long Teen Lollapalooza

TeenTober is back by popular demand! We folded Teen Read Week and Teen Tech Week into one, big, month-long marvel of creepy, cool fun for teens ... and everything
is FREE.

This year we are celebrating with “Strange & Unusual” events at our libraries and hair-raising reading recommendations galore. Check out chilling staff lists HERE, and our libraries will be hosting in-branch programs and offering free Take & Make Kits that you can enjoy at home. TeenTober programming will focus on creativity, STEAM, diversity, school success, and helping teens navigate the current world climate in a healthy way.
