Totally Teens
The team at Oasis Center makes it their daily mission to help teens and young people overcome obstacles and become their best selves.
At NPL, we’re also committed to giving teens a space where they can explore who they are and what they love.
For Summer Challenge, we’ve got a wide array of resources to help teens explore the world around them as they rack up coupons, votes, and that all-important grand prize entry.
YA Books for Mental Health
Teenage years are awesome … but also not.
Gaining more independence; balancing new responsibilities with relationships and schoolwork; trying to figure out who and what you want to be … it’s a lot to take in.
We get that, and that’s why we keep a full stack of books about teens and young adults navigating life’s challenges.
Outdoor Fun with the Library of Things
School’s out, the sun is shining, and the lawn is now officially two weeks overdue for mowing.
Yep — it’s definitely summer.
If you’re ready to get outside and enjoy the warmest time of the year, we’ve got something pretty cool to check out. The Library of Things — our collection of common household and other items — includes pickleball sets, croquet sets, tumble towers, and more.
It’s all free, and it’s all available with an NPL card.
Make Your Space with Our Maker Space
Interested in writing and producing your own songs? Learning to 3D print? Making your own movies?
We’ve got something to help with that. It’s called Studio NPL.
This interactive technology space is catered to teens who want to engage with music, video, photography, design, and more, all under the mentorship of a working professional in these fields.
Whether at our Main Library campus or one of our satellite studios, we’ve got plenty of opportunities for you to stretch your creative wings while you learn something new and make something awesome.
