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: non-teen patrons can access the Vortex to browse the collections but may not remain in the room.
