About a month ago, construction was completed on a new computer counter for the teen room. We also added 4 computers (now we have 8!) and SAM, the computer management software used on all other computers throughout the library. We're super happy to have more computers reserved just for teens, so stop by and check it out!

A rare time right after installation when all computers were available.

Teen Winter Reading began January 1st and ends March 31st. To participate, just read and review a book! Review forms are available at all SCPL locations or you can follow this link to fill out an online review. Random drawings will be held weekly for travel mugs and great teen books. Good luck and happy reading!
