Teen Scene
The Teen Scene is located on the lower level of the library. The collection includes:
- Teen fiction (including popular authors like Suzanne Collins, Sarah Dessen, John Green, and L.J. Smith, as well as classics and books assigned by local schools)
- Teen nonfiction (including high-appeal nonfiction and resources for school projects)
- Graphic novels (including Japanese manga and superhero comics)
- Teen magazines (including Seventeen, Mad, and Slam)
- College guides and test prep resources
The Teen Scene also offers:
- Space to work with groups or tutors
- A collection of board games and card games to use within the library
- Computers designated for teen use only
Any library patron may use the Teen Scene collection, but the furniture is reserved for students going into grades 6-12. The computers can only be logged onto with New Albany-Floyd County Public Library young adult library cards.
Teen Programs
We have a variety of programs for tweens and teens going into grades 6-12 (or homeschool equivalent). Unless otherwise noted, no advance registration is required. These teen events are held monthly:
Teen Advisory Board (TAB)
The library’s teen advisory board meets the first Monday of the month from 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM. It is a group of awesome teen volunteers who meet monthly with the teen services librarian to:
- Talk about books they’ve read
- Hear about the newest books
- Suggest new books for the library to add to their collection
- Suggest new activities for the library to host
- Help plan those new activities
- Teach the teen librarian cool new slang
- Eat snacks
Teen Anime Club
Teen Anime Club generally meets on the last Monday of the month from 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM, in the library’s auditorium. Each month interested teens make a craft or activity inspired by anime or Japanese culture, discuss their favorite anime and manga, and watch a few episodes of a voted-upon anime.
