Teens

The Teen Space at the Abington Free Library is just that – a space for teens! Teens are welcome to come hang out, check out a book or graphic novel, or play a board game. While everyone is invited to browse the collection, when school is not in session the Space is for teens only – no adults allowed!

Tech Help + Art Show

We have paused applications for the time being. Check back again soon!

Teens are invited to apply to be a Teen Tech Helper! Help older adults with their tech questions and earn service hours.

A Tiny Art Show is just like a regular art show, except the art is tiny! When you sign up you can choose to receive a 3x3 inch canvas with paint, a small amount of clay, or both. You can use anything!

Teen Collections

Teen Space

In The Teen Space you will find young adult books, graphic novels, manga, audio books, and flash cards to check out. Want to hang out with your friends? We also have board games, coloring, and more!

The Teen Space at the Abington Free Library also has a Self-Care Station! Free dental supplies, period products, lip balm, soap, and more – no questions asked. Thank you to MVP Family Dental and our patrons for your support of the Station.
