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!
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, we ask that you please register online. Teen events are open to residents of the Ramapo Central School District. If you’re interested in what’s to come, make sure to check out the event calendar on our library’s website and follow our library’s Instagram account @suffernfreelibrary. For Lock-Ins, parents/guardians are required to walk the attending teen into the Library and sign their permission slip.
If you have questions, please contact Sabrina at skowalski@suffernfreelibrary.org or at 845-357-1237.
