Events and Links of Interest to Teens       

Join the Teen Advisory Group:

Are you between the ages of 13 and 18?  Do you like to read?  Do you want to help out at the library, either by suggesting books for the library to purchase, doing volunteer work, updating our entries in the “My Own Café” website for teens, or writing for the newsletter?  If you answered Yes to any or all of these questions, come to the library and fill out an application to be in the new Teen Advisory Group.  We will meet every other week at a time and day most convenient for the group.  Activities will be determined by the group, and refreshments will be served.  For more information, call 508-763-8600, or stop by and ask for an application.  The application will also be available here.

  • You can join My Own Cafe` with your SAILS library card by going to www.myowncafe.org.  Once there, you can post events in your town or school, get help with homework, post to the message boards, and maybe win a prize.  My Own Cafe` is for SAILS library card holders ages 13-18.    Anyone can browse the site, but only registered members can post.
