Teen Bookmark Contest
London teens: do you sketch, collage, paint, draw, take pictures or make art of any kind? Let your creativity shine for the city to see!
Submit your original artwork for a chance to have your art featured across the Library’s 16 branches on special bookmarks. You can submit your art online here or in person at any library by January 31.
Teen Drop-Ins
Are you looking for a place to spend time making something, learning something or just hanging out with your friends? Our neighbourhood Library branches have created space for teens to explore their interests and be together. Find our Teen Drop-In schedule here.
Beyond the Book Teen Mentoring Program
Everyone could benefit from a mentor. Now, with our Beyond the Book program, teens in grades 8-12 can be matched with a volunteer mentor and meet online weekly. Volunteers are current Post Secondary School Students and can help teens build skills in communication, what to expect in high school or post secondary school and more. Each session is tailored to the goals and interests of you! This program is a valuable way to build skills and confidence so you are better prepared for transitions in education and life.
Parents and teens must register for a Beyond the Book Teen/Parent Information Session to learn more about the program and receive registration information. For more information, contact literacy@lpl.ca.
