Teens have their own collection of fiction, graphic novels, and nonfiction at the library. Check it out! All you need is your library card. We also have WiFi throughout the library building and grounds.
We offer a variety of programming throughout the year for Tweens and Teens up to age 18. Be sure to check the Library event calendar to register for upcoming teen programs at: Millbrook Library Event Calendar.
