News Release

NORTH WEBSTER — During October, the North Webster Community Public Library is participating in the Young Adult Library Services Association’s annual TeenTober celebration.

Developed by YALSA, this month-long event strives to raise awareness of the importance of year-round teen services and connect teens with services and materials provided by their local institutions that will help them develop new skills and fuel their passions.

TeenTober merges YALSA’s successful and longstanding Teen Tech Week and Teen Read Week initiatives into one program to celebrate teen services in libraries and enhance relationships with community partners. NWCPL’s first TeenTober program, Collage Workshop, will take place at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 3. Teens will tap into their inner artist to create a multimedia collage. Upcoming programs will provide opportunities for teens to make their own graphic novels, practice engineering with 3-D printing pens and participate in the first teen book club.

Teens can visit the library during regular hours to view the new teen space and earn a chance to win a TeenTober prize.
“We are ecstatic to bring this type of programming to our teens in the North Webster community,” Hanna Kunkel, young adult librarian, said. “We are committed to providing materials and services to our teens and connecting them with community partners to help them learn new skills, discover interests and fuel their passions.”
