Calling all teen artists, doodlers, comic book lovers, and manga fans! Join us for a creative hangout where you can draw, design, and share your art in a fun, relaxed space. We’ll have supplies, snacks, and good vibes, plus a mini gallery to display your work in our teen room! Whether you're into sketching superheroes, crafting kawaii characters, or just love to doodle, this is your space to create and connect.

Designed for 3-5 year olds, we will learn about different kinds of art and try out different art styles and supplies. Caregivers are requested to stay nearby, in case your preschooler needs assistance. 

Calling young art lovers! This club is designed for 7-12year olds and will allow young artists to experiment and learn about different art styles and try out new forms of arts and crafts. Weekly from 4-5 on Tuesdays. 

Celebrate the season with twelve swoon-worthy holiday stories from some of the biggest names in YA fiction, including Rainbow Rowell, Jenny Han, and David Levithan.

Whether you’re into meet-cutes, snowflake kisses, or stories that warm your heart like hot cocoa, there’s something here for every reader.

Perfect for December’s busy schedule, read a few or read them all!
For teens ages 12-19. Stop by the library to interlibrary loan your copy and join the fun!
