Junior & Teen

The library is providing Lit Loot boxes for middle and high school students. Students reading books from the JR or YA section can fill out a form or use this Google Form to participate. Currently, Lit Loot is quarterly, the next box will be in June.

Take and Make projects are periodically available at the library. We will have a sample on display, you can request a kit to take home from the circulation desk.

We want to help middle and high school students have access to and enjoy reading! We are partnering with teachers to bring books to classrooms. If you are a teacher in Centreville or Nottawa and would like help providing books in your classroom please reach out to us.

Teens with EMC or Dual Enrollment: the library is a great place to work quietly if you have downtime, check out the Tutor Room!

All public areas inside and outside the library are monitored by security cameras.
