The Young Adult space at the La Grange Park Public Library District has a fresh look. YA librarian Samantha Farruggia brainstormed with local teens, then worked with library furnishing company Embury Ltd, to design new tables, seating and a decorative privacy screen. New, easy-to-browse shelving and a fresh coat of paint top off the renovations. Farruggia said "The best part of redesigning the Young Adult Department was working with the Teen Advisory Board to pick out furniture and giving them a sense of ownership."
Teens in grades 7-12 can enjoy the space, including the dedicated YA computers, any time the library is open. Hours are Monday-Thursday 10-9, Friday-Saturday, 10-5 and Sundays 1-5.
