Do you know about the teen-centered programs that are available at our local libraries? In addition to key services such as career planning, computer skills, volunteer opportunities, and college test prep, the libraries in the Montgomery County Memorial Library system and our neighboring Harris County Public Libraries offer a myriad of stimulating activities – from trivia to book clubs to sushi-making – typically designed for children 13-17. Library programs are free!
Over the years, my own teenagers have participated in all sorts of fun library events for teens such as calligraphy, art painting, and even henna tattoo-making.
Here are some that are coming up soon. Keep in mind that some programs require registration, and space may be limited.
Tip: Make sure your teen has a library card so he can check out books before or after the program!
