Welcome to the St. Thomas Public Library Teen Zone

Just when we thought a good thing couldn't get any better...

The Teen Lounge has a new look! Leather chairs, bar stools, new colours - it's pretty much off the chain. Click here to let us know what you think of the new teen lounge.

It's a Reading Rave!

• Made specifically for high school students, this "virtual library" not only allows you to explore literature, has school tools (like how to write a persuasive essay, write bibliographies and citations, take good notes, etc.), recommended reading (for magazines, graphic novels, and books), fun factoids, teen phenom quizzes, and cool links to teen sites!
