Teen Xscape

A place to be you

Our Teen Xscape area is located on the library’s first floor and is a teens-only space to read, relax, use the library’s wi-fi, work on homework and–most importantly–connect with others.

Here’s what you’ll find in the space:

Comfortable and fun places
to read, work and lounge

Need a welcoming space to do homework, hang out with friends, or just read? Relax in our fun and cozy bungee chairs, curl up on our colorful rug, or grab a throw cushion! Or use our regular tables within the space for uninterrupted homework time.

Events Board

Our whiteboard fills you in on all the events happening this week.

Books

Our collection includes the newest titles in teen fiction and non-fiction, and you’ll find them all grouped on one shelf at the front of the space. Have a book you’d like us to add?  Email Joyce at homanj@cclsys.org with the title.

In addition, browse our extensive collection of teen books grouped by genre, including Mystery, Science Fiction, and Series.
