This week's activity is: making mini versions of books that have been challenged across the country.

Stop into the Teen Room starting on Mondays at 3:00 pm, or the first day of the week, for a new activity for teens in grades 6 through 12.

These are self-directed activities or crafts that teens can do anytime during the week in the Teen Room. We kindly ask that these materials be available for teens to do in the Teen Room, as opposed to bringing them home as a "take and make craft."

This week's activity is: making mini version of banned books. Want to learn more about why libraries talk about banned and challenged books? Learn more here!
