Our annual TeenTober celebration is back — this time with a thrilling new theme: Mystery & Mayhem! Throughout October, teens can dive into exciting programs and explore FREE resources designed to spark curiosity, build new skills, and discover how the Library District can help turn passions into possibilities.
This month, we have FREE events and programs planned across the Library District's 25 unique branches, plus spooky reading recommendations from our staff!
Share your TeenTober experiences with us by posting them to Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Tag the Library District and use #TeenTober!
