LIBRARY’S TEENSPACE LEADERSHIP PLANS LOCKIN

Do you know a teen more likely to hang at the library than at the mall? How about a young leader looking for a volunteer project? TeenSpace might be just the place for them.

Once a month, the Racine Public Library, invites teens ages 11-17 to gather and share food, plan teen programs and activities, work on creative projects, plan leadership/volunteer activities, and generally hang out with other teens with some of the same interests.

The 2009 TeenSpace Leadership group is in the process of planning a Spring Lock-in/Gaming Night and a community service project. The next meeting will be held on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 1:30 p.m. in the Martin Room just off of the Youth Services dept. All TeenSpace leaders old, new or just curious are encouraged to attend. If you know a teen that might be interested, please spread the word! Call Becky at 262-619-2571 for more information.

TeenSpace members will be integral to designing a new teen area during planned remodeling in winter 2009. They will also have a voice in teen material selection and program planning.
