Teen Space

We're on Facebook -- check us out.

The library's Teen Space is open to teens 12-18 years old during regular library hours (Mon.-Thur. 9-8 and Fri.-Sat. 9-5:30).  Teen Internet computers are available Monday-Friday 3-5 p.m. during the school year, and 12:30-4:30 p.m. during summer.

The Library's Teen Advisory Board is helping to shape library services for Danville teens.  Area middle school and high school students are encouraged to consider serving on this important Board -- it's just a few meetings per year -- and help us plan exciting programs, build cool collections, and much more.

For more information, contact Teen Services Coordinator Sue Daugherty at suedplteens@gmail.com.
