Teen Space Updates

The WCPL boasts “Teen Space” -- a special room for teen patrons ages 12-18.  Designed for study, relaxation, and social interaction, it is a popular meeting space.  

It also serves homeschool students and provides a “safe” space for after-school hours.  Parents like knowing their children are in a safe and enriching place while waiting to be picked up. The students like having the opportunity to meet others from various schools.

Areas are designated for arts and crafts, video games, chess, and chatting – all in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.
