Services for Teens

We welcome teens at the Library! Contact the Teen Librarian at info@mgpl.org for more information about what we offer.

Teen Space

Teens from 7th-12th grade are welcome to enjoy our dedicated Teen Space, which is great for studying, hanging out, playing games, reading, and more. We have fiction, nonfiction and graphic novel books, magazines, board games, a whiteboard, and table space to spread out and get some work done.

Recommendations

See our Recommendations for Teens page for staff picks, award winners, Battle of the Books, high school reading lists, and more.

Homework Help

We have several online resources to help with homework, research, and exploration. You can also connect online with a live tutor on HelpNow! by Brainfuse to get one-on-one help with homework, skills building, and test prep. Tutors are available every day from 3-10 pm, except holidays. A 24/7 Center is available during off-hours.
