Events for teens
Teen craft corner
Make, color, and paint with fellow teens in the Teen Room. Drop in any time during the activity and enjoy our monthly craft.
For teens and tweens in grades 6-12.
Queer comics club
Do you love Heartstopper? Are there other LGBTQIA+ graphic novels you love, and want to discuss? Join CHPL librarians in a monthly graphic novel book club for teens that centers queer stories and voices. Each month we'll have a group of graphic novels to choose from. Read one (or more) and join us for an evening of chatting, fun, and snacks!
For teens and tweens in grades 6-12.
Trash talk cinema
Grab some popcorn and get ready to roast some horribly bad (but oh-so-great) movies. From cringeworthy plot holes to over-the-top acting, we’ll have a blast tearing apart some flicks we love to hate. See you there!
