The Vortex is unique space specifically designed for teens to read, study or hanging out with friends. Teens in grades 6–12 can play games, use the computers or reserve a study room with their library card or school ID. The Vortex hosts regular programs just for teens, like movie screenings, trivia nights, crafts and more!
PLEASE NOTE: the Vortex is closed until further notice and all Teen Fiction, Teen Series and Teen Graphic Novels have been moved out of the Vortex space and shelved onto stacks located on the open second floor area.
