Forest Park Branch Library

Sign up online!

The Forest Park Branch Library has a crafty idea to help tweens and teens get ready for school. Check out our Jeans Book Covers program on Thursday, September 9, running from 3:30-4:30 p.m.; you'll bring your own notebook and we'll provide the jeans to cover it. (The pocket's a perfect spot for pencils and pens!) Sign up at the Forest Park Branch, 380 Belmont Avenue, or online. For additional information please call 263-6843.

The Friends of the Springfield Library have generously provided funding for this program.

TEEN CENTRAL IS WHERE IT'S AT!
Come In, Hang Out at the Library

Download our flyer!

Teen Central is for teens ages 12-18 who are looking for opportunities to hang out with their peers and enjoy activities and discussions relating to their interests: anime, current issues, books, creative writing and poetry, crafts, and more. Teen Central gives teens a way to serve the Library by choosing books, music and movies for the collection and by planning and hosting programs of their own. This year there will be a chance to update the library website's Teen Page – teen ideas and help are needed!

Teen activities take place on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 4:00-5:30 p.m. in the Central Library Community Room. (Watch for changes around holidays.) Come on September 22 to find out more, have refreshments and meet teens that are already involved! Fall dates are: September 22, October 13 and 27, November 10 and 17, and December 8 and 22. For more information, call Martha at 263-6828, ext. 425 or stop by the reference desk in Rice Hall, located on the 2nd floor at the Central Library, 220 State Street. Springfield.
