Teen Tech Week is March 9-15

Teen Tech Week is March 9th-15th, and the theme is "DIY @ your library." We'll have special programs at every library branch, including one every day (Monday-Saturday) at Teen Central.

Teen Tech Week is when libraries showcase all of the great print and non-print resources and services available to teens and their families. The library offers teens a space to extend learning beyond the classroom: where they can explore, create, and share content. From maker spaces to coding classes to online knitting clubs, libraries connect in meaningful ways with teens.

Mon., 3/10 @ 3:45 p.m. 8 Bit Hero: Video Games and Game Art. (Clemmons)

Mon., 3/10 @ 4 p.m. Teen Game Day. (Rural Hall)
