Tweens community hub
The library hosts special programming and activities for tweens ages 10 to 13. Join the library's Tween Advisory Group (or TWAG) to get more involved in planning events and suggesting books and services you want to see at the library. The library can also connect youth and caregivers with community resources for tweens, including safe, after school drop-in options.
