"My goal is to really help create a space for them where they know it’s a free place to go to after school or on the weekends," Mack said. "We’re one of the last free places for kids to go where they can just hang out and have fun."
There will be more teen programs throughout the year at the library. Look to our Encino Patch community calendar for future events.
