Teens only: Find your place at the Library!
November 12, 2020
Are you a Mecklenburg County teen ? You’re welcome at Charlotte Mecklenburg Library! If you’re wondering just what you'll find at your local Library, the answer is simple: You can find fun, resources, a social community and adventure!
Our Teen Services team is here to provide dynamic programs, resources and services to anyone ages 12-18. We are dedicated to helping you become the best version of yourself, while also supporting your academic, personal development and leisure interests. Although branches aren’t currently open for in-person programs, when they are, we have spaces in every branch where teens can read, work on schoolwork, hang out, create and more.
Until we can see you face-to-face (and we hope that’s soon), here are some ways you can claim your space – virtually – at the Library, for FREE, with your Library card or ONE Access ID number:
First, GET SOCIAL - Connect with us on Instagram at @CMLibraryTeens, launching December 10, 2020, to be a part of many fun and important conversations. CMLibraryTeens is a safe place, exclusively for teens, to connect with their favorite Teen Services staff and peers. It's also a place for book hauls, talks, games, live programs and more. Don't miss out!
