Enclosed Teen Area

With Monroe Middle School just down the street, we regularly have crowds of young teens at the library after school. On a Monday afternoon in early 2020, there were 22 teens in and around the teen area at 2:45 pm, with more teens in other places throughout the library.  Having a dedicated space for these library patrons is a definite asset.

​IMPACT
  • Creating a more defined, enclosed space for teens will encourage them to feel welcome while improving the second-floor experience for other patrons.
