Kennebunk library to host meeting for teens
KENNEBUNK — Last month the Kennebunk Free Library welcomed Melissa West as the new teen librarian.
West can’t wait to meet the middle- and high-school students in the community and talk about what ideas they have for the library’s teen programs and services. Those in grades 6-12 are encouraged to join her for a Teen Advisory Board Meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 20 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in Hank’s Room at the Kennebunk Free Library, at 112 Main St. in Kennebunk.
The meeting will give teens the chance to offer ideas to make the library more teen-oriented.
The event is free and wheelchair accessible. For more information, call 985- 2173 ext. 5, or visit www.kennebunklibrary.org.
