 

Come on up to the second floor of the library to experience the wonders of the Teen Zone.  In the Zone, not only will you find helpful staff, you'll find a gamer's paradise; a 55-inch flat screen, Xbox 360 (with Kinnect), a PS3, a Wii and a PS2.  There are tons of awesome board games, comfy seating, teen-only computers, new books, a wall of comics/manga and more!  Check us out!

 

Meet Your Teen Librarian

Hi folks!  My name is Courtney and I'm the Teen Services Librarian here at Missouri River Regional Library.  I'm the go-to person for all things Teen.  I order all of the Teen books, do all the programs and run the Teen Zone (although you can occasionally find me in both the Reference and Children's departments).  I love my job and want to create the most dynamic experience possible for teens all over the area.  Do you have ideas for books we should have in our collection or for the programs we offer here at the library?  Want to volunteer?  Any other questions or comments?  Feel free to contact me at watersc@mrrl.org.
