Teen Room Updates

Annie Lee is back in action! Say hi when you visit the Teen Room.

A few things to keep in mind when you visit the library:
- Kids in grades 5-8 can only be alone in the library for maximum of two hours. Make sure you (and your parents) have a plan for where you'll go when your two hours are up
- If you need a charger you can borrow one (with your library card) at the Reference Desk on the upper level

Good luck to all our friends taking their AP exams, SATs, ACTs, and finals this month!
