Teenagers are invited to hang out at the library this spring as part of Teen Reading Lounge, a program developed by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council and libraries throughout the state. Throughout the Lackawanna County Library System, there are opportunities for teens to read and discuss popular young adult books. Here at the Abington Community Library, book discussions will run on Sunday afternoons.
Those who participate in Teen Reading Lounge will receive free copies of the books to be discussed, including popular genres like fantasy, dystopian and graphic novels. Through reading, engaging in discussion and taking part in special activities, participating teens will enhance critical thinking and communications skills.
Interested? Call or stop by the library to register and pick up your book.
