Teen
CLPVD supports teens in their personal, professional, and academic goals.
Each library offers a vibrant collection of both physical and digital materials including audiobooks, graphic novels, manga, TV shows, music, magazines, video games, and take home kits. There are also resources to assist with test prep, research tasks, college preparedness, and career development.
Several locations have dedicated teen spaces in their buildings, and many provide volunteer opportunities or internships through community partners. Teens can enjoy a wide variety of programs as well that involve art, games, technology, study sessions, support groups, and much more!
