Teen Area Under Construction!

We're adding new shelves to make room for all of the books and graphic novels
in the Teen Area (yay!).  However, until the dust has settled, most of the
teen collection will not be available (boo!).  We hope to have a shiny, new
Teen Area ready for you by the end of April.  Until then, feel free to stop in
and admire the work in progress!  Questions?  Visit the Youth Services Desk!
