Fort Bend County Libraries is launching new programs specifically designed for high school-age teens in grades 9 through 12. The programs provide fun and challenging opportunities for these young adults, who are also encouraged to become active participants in designing and orchestrating new activities for teens in the library system.
In February, the Cinco Ranch Branch Library will roll out the first of many exciting new programs for the Young Adult community.
- Origami for Young Adults – Wednesday, February 1, 3:00-4:00 p.m., Conference Classroom. Learn how to make whimsical shapes simply by folding and twisting paper.
- Young Adult Book Club – Wednesday, February 8, 3:00-4:00 p.m., Conference Classroom. Teen readers will have the opportunity to meet with others who share the same love for great books, and have a lively discussion on the reasons a book or its characters were liked or disliked. This month, readers are invited to talk about their favorite book from the “historical fiction” genre. Area teens are invited to join in this inaugural meeting of the library’s new Young Adult Book Club and help to launch the new club to a great start!
- Young Adult Advisory Council – Wednesday, February 22, 3:00-4:00 p.m., Conference Classroom. At this monthly meeting, teens are invited to express ideas, organize upcoming activities, and suggest new programs that would be of interest to young adults at the library. Earn volunteer/service hours and meet new friends while helping to shape the future of library services for teens!
These programs are free and open to the public. For more information, call the Cinco Ranch Branch Library at 281-395-1311 or the library system’s Public Information Office at 281-633-4734.
