Library Teen Center Expands

Hours on 2nd and 4th Fridays The Chattanooga Hamilton County Bicentennial Library is expanding the hours of its new teen center to include additional Friday hours on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month, beginning on Friday, Jan. 23. Hours of operation on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month will be 1:30 – 5:45 p.m. This is a perfect time for homeschoolers to take advantage of the teen center, called “Teen Stack,” which opened in September 2008.

Teen Stack, covering a 1,400 square foot area on the first floor, is a great place for area teens to study, attend programs and have fun. Four new Dell PCs and two I Mac Pros provide teens with computers for research, projects and more. A 52” Sony Bravia LCD HD television, as well as Playstation 3 and Wii consoles, allow for Blu-ray movie showings and special gaming events.

In addition, there are lockers, conversation areas and study tables. A portion of the young adult fiction collection is located in Teen Stack for easy access to materials.

Maria Sabin, a homeschooling mom, will be volunteering at the Teen Center on these alternate Fridays from noon to 3. Teens between the ages 12-18 are eligible to join Teen Stack provided they have a library card.
