Teens

Statewide summer reading program for all ages runs June 17-August 16, 2024. The Teen Advisory Group and other teen volunteers produced their first Murder Mystery Night in 2019 with assistance from our former Young Adult Librarian, Christina Castle. This was followed by virtual Murder Mystery Nights in May 2020 and 2021, before going back to an in-person event in 2022. Since then, teen volunteers with the assistance of Young Adult Librarian Courtney Trudeau have held annual Murder Mystery Nights in May 2023 and 2024. Photos are from the Murder Mystery Night in May 2024. Check library calendar for dates and times for all teen programs and volunteer opportunities.
