Discover the Teen Scene!

The Glenview Public Library has a great resource available to all high school teens---THE TEEN SCENE! This room was specifically designed for the high school teen to be able to study and have fun, with the Library's vast YA fiction collection, graphic novels, AND three gaming systems with flat-screen TV for those who might want to relax playing a video game.

Nintendo Wii, XBOX360, and Playstation 3 are all housed in the Teen Scene, all a teen needs to do is stop at the Reader Services Desk to sign up and choose from a vast selection of games for each system. Teens can play solo or with a friend. This is a great way to unwind at the end of the day!

There are also two long booths perfect for group projects or chatting with friends. Covered drinks are allowed in the Teen Scene, same as the rest of the Library.

We also have several board games to choose from that can be used in the Teen Scene. Please ask to view our collection, which includes Boggle, Chess, Checkers, Scattergories, Monopoly, and more.

There have been several programs exclusive to the Teen Scene--such as teen movie nights, finals study nights, and two upcoming Teen Game Days in the Summer. Check out what is going on at the Library for teens by picking up a flyer in the Teen Scene, in the teen kiosk.

There are also several opportunities for teens who like to volunteer their time by joining the VolunTeen Corps. VolunTeen Applications can be found in the teen kiosk or by stopping at the Reader Services Desk.

Any questions about all-things-teen can be directed to Nicole M. Mills, Young Adult Librarian, at 847-729-7500 or email nmills@glenviewpl.org.
