Teens at the Library
The library is committed to providing an inviting, safe space for teenage patrons to engage in individual and group activities within the library. We offer a variety of age-specific materials, both in the library and online, to serve the unique needs of this age group.
Teen Room
The Teen Room is an inclusive, teens-only safe space designed specifically for patrons in grades 6-12. Teens are welcome to use the space anytime the library is open to play games, study, enjoy comfortable seating, and spend time with friends! While seating in the Teen Room is reserved for middle and high school students during after school hours, everyone is welcome to use the collection!
The Teen Room is supervised by library staff on weekdays after school from approximately 2-5pm. Buses are available to the library from Goff Middle School and Columbia High School. Please contact the schools directly for more information.
Volunteer Opportunities
Are you looking to earn community service hours for a class, club, or college application? The library provides volunteer opportunities for teens during the school year and as part of our Summer Reading program. See our VolunTeens page for more information about volunteering at the library!
Events for Teens
The East Greenbush Community Library hosts a variety of fun and engaging events just for teens! From creative workshops and hands-on activities to gaming and STEM programs, our teen programs provide a welcoming space to explore interests, build skills, and connect with friends. Whether you’re looking to relax, create, or try something new, our rotating schedule of teen programs offers something for every interest! Some events may require registration, so please check our Events Calendar for all program details.
Teen Book Boxes
Looking for a fun way to discover new books? Check out our Teen Book Boxes, a free book-based subscription box just for middle and high schoolers! Generously sponsored by the Friends of the Library, these quarterly boxes feature hand-selected library books and fun surprises customized to match your reading preferences and interests. While the books and box need to be returned to the library, everything else is yours to keep!
Teen Book Boxes are available each January, April, July, and October. Please check our event calendar for registration dates and information.
