The Parley Coburn Cougar's 6th grade classes enjoyed an exciting field trip to the Steele Memorial Library where they explored the library’s creative Makerspace and welcoming Teen Space.
Students had the opportunity to make buttons and crafts, play both online and in-person games with friends, and browse books and other library resources. Many students were excited to make plans to meet up with friends at the library after school and over the summer.
The visit also introduced students to the library’s strong teen programs such as the Teen Space and a Teen Advisory Group that meets twice a month. Students learned that the library encourages teen feedback and active participation, helping make the library a fun and welcoming place for young people in our community.
