Southwick Public Library Offers So Much For Teens!

August 29, 2019

Make the Young Adult space at Southwick Public Library your afterschool home - relax and recharge! This year, we’ve added comfortable seating and a teen listening lounge in the YA section! You can also plug into the chairs to charge up your device. Borrow our headphones to listen to music, and ask Reference to lend you our headphone jack splitter so your friends can listen and watch the iPad with you at the same time!  

Southwick Public Library invites students in grades 7-12 to try our series of Ninja Skills Challenges. Complete each skill test to enter a raffle to win an item from our mystery prize box.   Drop in any time during regular library hours to test your skills in the Young Adult Section.

Week 1: Aug. 26– Sept. 30:  Agility
Week 2:  Sept. 2– 6:  Cunning
Week 3: Sept.  9– 13:  Patience

Southwick Public Library is celebrating Talk Like a Pirate Day. Between September 16-20, students in 7-12th grade are invited to experiment in “Pirate” with our magnetic Pirate Poetry board in the Young Adult Section.  Learn some easy pirate slang and insults while you’re at it! Stop by any time during regular library hours. 

Banned Books Week- Too dangerous to put on public display, too good to miss! Southwick Public Library invites students in 7-12th grade to get caught reading a banned book! Find the QR codes around the Young Adult Section to see what’s been banned, then see if you can find it in the library! Drop in any time during regular library hours between September 23-28.  

For further information, call 413-569-1221 ext. 3.
