We celebrated a fabulous grand opening and ribbon cutting for our newly renovated teen space Thursday, January 19th! Over eighty people stopped by to share in the celebration complete with a pizza tasting, door prizes, games with friends, and a chance to explore our newly acquired virtual reality product—Google Cardboard.
Many thanks to the Friends of the Library for funding this fabulous renovation project, and to the Sigma Chi of Colgate Foundation for their sponsorship of the charging station for personal devices provided in the new teen space. We would also like to give a special thank you to the Youth Team from the Hamilton Area Community Coalition for their help with the grand opening celebration; the Hamilton Theater for donating movie passes for the door prize; and to Oliveri’s Pizzeria, New York Pizzeria, VJ’s Restaurant, Ye Olde Pizza Pub, and Pizza Hut, for their participation in our pizza tasting contest. The results from the contest are posted in the teen space.
This new space is reserved for teens on weekdays between 2:30-7pm, 10am-1pm Saturdays, and 10am-7pm when school is not in session; this space is otherwise available for general use by all.
Whether you’re a teenager now, will someday become one, or are young at heart—we continue to celebrate this new community space and look forward to sharing it with you for years to come!
