Teen Programming
If you are a teen and looking for a great book to read while hanging out with some great friends, then the YA Book Club is the place to be! Join us in the program room on the third Monday of the month at 5 pm for friends, food, and great books! All teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 are welcome! Stop by the youth services desk to pick up a copy of the book for discussion.
All events are published in the newsletter one month in advance. Check the newsletter for upcoming events and programs.
We Need Your Help

Pontiac Public Library is looking for a few creative teens to help us improve our young adult collection and services.
