Library programs focus on teens
This fall Dover Public Library invites all local teens in sixth grade to 12th grade to participate in Teen Tuesday events, a new book club and a gaming adventure. Registration is not required for any of the upcoming events. All events are free and sponsored in part by a 21st Century Grant with Dover High School. Interested patrons can call the library at 330-343-6123.
Weekly Teen Tuesday events will begin Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 3 p.m. in the library’s community room and run through Tuesday, Dec. 10. All Teen Tuesdays will begin at 3 p.m. and run approximately one hour. Light refreshments will be served.
Each Teen Tuesday will have a different theme and activities, starting with a STEAM Break-in Box on Sept. 17 and continuing with games, crafts and other activities throughout the fall.
Teens also will have the opportunity to participate in a monthly book club called Teens Read. Each month will have a different theme and an activity for book lovers. The first Teens Read meeting will be Friday, Sept. 27 at 3 p.m. Participants will discuss upcoming themes and activities for the book club.
Teens also are invited to join the Role Playing Game Club for a one-shot adventure called The Wizard’s Labyrinth on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 2-5 p.m. Players will portray heroes caught in a maze of puzzles, monsters and more.
