About the Vortex

← Back to teens hub

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.

Vortex Hours

Sunday, Saturday 12:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Monday - Thursday 2:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Friday 2:00 PM - 5:30 PM
During the school year, the Vortex opens at noon on Valley View School District holidays.

Collection Access

The Vortex is not open during all the hours that the library is open, but staff at the 2nd Floor Service Desk can provide short-term access to the Vortex’s collections any time that the library is open.

Questions? Vortex staff can be reached at 630.685.4199 or fountaindaleteen@fountaindale.org.
