For teens
The library is a place for you to be you.
Hang out with your friends. Have some time to yourself. Ask us a question, or tell us how it’s going.
Join a book club. Do an activity. Get creative.
Use the computer. Get help with research. Learn about technical school, college, and whatever you aspire to be.
And oh yeah, check out a book.

LaShaunda is the Teen Services Manager at Main Library. She has been employed with Durham County Library since July 2006, beginning as a Library Page. Her passion for working with teens began through conversing with fellow Teen Services Manager Archie Burke and connecting with many of the teen patrons during her tenure at East Regional Library. After graduate school, she got back into the love of reading, with an interest in graphic novels and young adult materials about real-life situations. Outside of the library world, she loves spending time with her tween daughter playing video games.

Looking to get involved? We have different volunteer tasks available at different locations and different times. In the past, teen volunteers have helped with shelving and pulling books, tutoring, prepping for crafts, and more. This program is for all tweens and teens in grades 6 – 12. Contact the teen librarian at your preferred location for availability.
