Teens in libraries

EVPL offers programs and services for teens throughout the year, but we want to use this month to bring awareness to the importance of teen services in the library. Teens make up about 25% of all public library users. With free internet, available study space, and access to community and research resources, libraries provide a space for teens to learn and have fun.
