Queer comics club
Do you love Heartstopper? Are there other LGBTQIA+ graphic novels you love, and want to discuss? Join CHPL librarians in a monthly graphic novel book club for teens that centers queer stories and voices. Each month we'll have a group of graphic novels to choose from. Read one (or more) and join us for an evening of chatting, fun, and snacks!
For teens and tweens in grades 6-12.
Open play video games
Calling all teen gamers! Join us at the library to play on our Wii U and PS4 consoles, or bring your own favorite video games to share with friends. Whether you're a Mario Kart master or just looking to try something new, there's something for everyone. Come hang out, make new friends, and enjoy some friendly competition.
Twilight trivia night
You better hold on tight, spider monkey!
