Programs and Spaces just for Teens

York County Libraries offers a variety of unique programs, services, and spaces just for teens aged 12-18! Each teen has their own interests and goals, so we are excited to provide flexible opportunities to meet their needs. From college-bound students seeking research help, to the creative-at-heart who wants an outlet for expression, we have something for everyone to explore!

Featured Programs

York County Libraries offers several signature events just for teens each year. Be sure to sign up early—chances go fast!

Learn More & Apply

Drop in anytime

You can do more than just sit and read at the library (though you’re welcome to do that too)! Yes, we have amazing events and programs to participate in, and we encourage you to come and enjoy those special events. But we have stuff to do just about any time we’re open, too.

Tabletop Activities

If you want to get creative and draw or craft, borrow a board game to try out, challenge a friend to a game of chess or checkers, or perfect your Solitaire game with some cards, your library has a variety of fun items to explore. Better than doomscrolling on TikTok!

You can also get hands-on with our Makerspaces, 3D printers, and button machines. Ask what’s available at your library.

Technology Access

Feeling a little more techy? In addition to the regular Wi-Fi access, we have kits where you can tinker with programming a robot or get immersed in a video game or even a VR session! Visit your library to see what technology is available for you to explore.
