Teen Summer Program

Teens (grades 6-12)! Help us "Build a Better World"! We've planned a variety of summer activities for you this summer, including arts & crafts, movie nights, computer programming and more! (See below.)

Join our Summer Reading Club! Starting 5/30, teens may register at any MCPL location or online to receive a BINGO-style activity log to track their reading and acts of kindness over the summer. Completed logs may be returned to the library by 8/12 in exchange for a free book and other rewards!

Need some reading ideas for this summer? Check out our Staff Reviews for Teens or browse our listing of New Teen Books recently added to the collection!
