What is Teen Scene?
Teen Scene is an after-school room just for teens. The Library's downstairs meeting room is transformed into a temporary teen area four days a week from 3:00-5:00 PM during the school year.
Teen Scene will be closed for the Summer. June 19 will be the last day to use the room until September.

"Serving 'Tweens & Teens" Grant
The Middleborough Public Library was awarded a two-year $20,000 federal LSTA grant to help improve teen services.
The design, furnishings, and policies of Teen Scene are based on suggestions and feedback from the teens who visit the Library or attend our monthly Teen Advisory Group meetings.
Teens are also instrumental in deciding what kinds of programs the Library will offer and what kinds of materials will be purchased for the teen collection.

The "Serving ‘Tweens & Teens" project is being funded through the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners with funds from LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act), a Federal source of library funding provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. |
