Teens & Young Adults

Hanging out after school

The library is a bustling after-school space for teens and young adults, and hosts programs and events for teens on an ongoing basis.

Kendall Chapman, BHPL’s Ruth Slaven Teen Services & Outreach Librarian, supports teenagers around the peninsula with programs and services designed for them, in collaboration with the library’s Youth Services Librarian, Claire Malina.
