Welcome to the Teen Space
Currently, our teen (also known as the "young adult") collection includes 3285 titles, including 358 graphic novels, and an expanded selection of non-fiction works in prose and graphic formats. New titles are added to the collection frequently and we welcome suggestions for these additions.
But did you know you can use your library card to check out more than just books? Your card enables you to check out digital books, movies, music, magazines and video games, also. Check out the book suggestions page to find where you can access these materials, and get started!
Keep in touch with us on Facebook or Instagram, and check out the Calendar of events to see our upcoming teen programs. Teen programs will appear in dark violet!
All teen programs are for teens 11 to 18 years old, unless otherwise specified. We look forward to seeing many of you after the school day ends as long as you follow these basic policies from our letter to the Tecumseh School District. The letter is based on our library policies, which can be found here.

PBS shared some resources about the recent election, along with what to expect in the future regarding our democratic process.
Halloween Eve Party!
In combination with our weekly game night
We had a great time on October 30 hosting over 50 young patrons for our Halloween Eve Celebration at the library! After pizza and breadsticks (with ranch, of course) from Basil Boys, Miss Jennifer orchestrated a wide age range of kids through a scavenger hunt on the main floor. Then, some of the younger patrons worked on crafts and puzzles while many of the older ones stayed downstairs with Brock for a variety of gaming options. It was a fun afternoon, and we look forward to doing similar events in the future!
