The article states that the young adult section, which was previously located on the first floor of the library, has been planned to be moved to the second floor of the building to make room for a better space for teens.



The bigger space will allow more room for technology and an area where the young people can socialize. Programs targeted to teenagers will be held in the space. The Library already has some set up for when the new section will be open to the public.

Some of these events are already starting, before the new space will even be open. They  will include a monthly Anime & Manga Club meeting held in the space. These will start before the new section will be open. It will start at the end of March and be held regularly.

There will also be a guys-only book club, and movie nights showing various movies to the public. The first of these will be a back-to-back showing of the entire last segment of the Twilight Saga. There will even be bands playing at the library for teens.

According to the article, the goal has been set to make a new place that teenagers will want to come and enjoy.

The new space for teens is expected to be open this fall.
