Teen Events for Fall 2019
The Library welcomes teens year-round for our ongoing weekly events. Held on Monday nights, we have our Suffern Teen Advisory Council, Anime Club and two Book Clubs.
We also have our Teen Lock-In and other special events including SAT/ACT Workshops, Financial Aid Workshops, Jewelry Making Workshops, and more!
View our calendar for a complete listing of events and to register in advance. Space is limited so it is important to register early.
S.T.A.C.
Are you in grades 7-12 and looking for volunteer hours? Perhaps you want to have a say in what teen materials the Library purchases or what events we have. Or maybe you just want free food! Either way, join the Suffern Teen Advisory Council.
Anime Club
We have a brand new club for teens! Each month, we will watch an episode of an anime, then discuss our favorite anime and manga, talk about anime and manga news and vote for possibilities for the next month’s meeting.
Teen Lock-Ins
Each month once the Library is closed, the teens get to come back and do special activities with their friends. There is a theme for each month’s lock-in and we serve food! Once a year, we host an overnight lock-in for teens who complete the Summer Reading Program.
Movies & Music
The Suffern Library has a large music and movie collection which is available for FREE. Search the Library Catalog for your favorite artists. You can also download music and videos for FREE using your library card.
Homework Help
Need help with school? The Library has 14 databases including encyclopedias, magazines, atlases, biographies, newspapers, language help, science help…and so much more. Use your Suffern Library card to get started.
Events
All teen events require advance registration and are open to residents of the Ramapo Central School District. We ask that you please register online. For Lock-Ins, parents/guardians are required to walk the attending teen into the Library and sign the permission slip.
If you have questions, please contact Ms. Jennifer at jcohen@rcls.org or at 845-357-1237.
