The Teen Zone houses our YA Fiction collection and is a popular place for local teens to hang out or study. Teens ages 12-18 may hang out in the room or use the exclusive teen computer whenever the library is open; however, everyone is welcome to come in and browse the collection in the room and on the shelf just outside.
