Pirate Mafia
Virtual Teen Tuesdays moves to 4:30 p.m. for the school year! Teens are invited to log into GoToMeeting on Tuesday, September 8 and hang out with other teens. This week we’ll be playing the social game, Mafia, but this time with a pirate theme! (September includes International Talk Like a Pirate Day). Find the link on our online calendar at wheremindsgrow.org.
The current Library closure isn’t stopping the Library from serving local teens! From regular virtual programming to homework help, from book club to volunteer opportunities, there’s still a lot for teens to do at Springfield Public Library. Follow us on Facebook, check out our online library calendar, or reach out to our Teen Services Librarian Cara Kinsey for more information.
Thanks to the Teen Advisory Board for helping choose our virtual program lineup!
