Teen After School Stop
Wednesdays at 2:30.
Teen Room
Stop by after school to make a craft, enjoy a slushy or seasonal drink, or engage in some other way to relax in the middle of a long week of school. Drop-in style, so come when you can and stay for however long you’d like.
Open to teens ages 12-18 and in grades 7-12. No registration required, but supplies may be limited: first come, first served.
Sponsored by the CFPL Friends of the Library.
Teen Fiber Flicks
Saturday, April 11 at 1:30
Teen Room
Love to embroider? Can't quit crocheting? Join us during this open time to work on any current textile projects you have or try something new while watching a movie! Supplies and kits will be available on a first come, first served basis, and teens are encouraged to bring any projects they are currently working on.
Teens are welcome to come and go as they please. Hot beverages will be provided and this month's movie will be the 2020 Emma (rated PG).
Open to teens ages 12 - 18 and in grades 7 - 12. No registration required.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Cedar Falls Public Library.
