At FPL, we have a space dedicated not just to teen books but to teens themselves. Complete with a large collection of Young Adult books, study rooms, and a gaming room, the Teen Library is a space to relax, study, hang out with friends, and, most importantly, thrive.
FPL created a dedicated teens-only space that offers freedom, safety, and a place to study and be with friends exclusively for our patrons in grades 5 – 12.

The Teen Gaming Room is available to students in grades 5 – 12. We have a PlayStation 5, Switch and Xbox. It is available for two hours per day, per individual or group.

A library card is required to book it and to check out specific controllers. Teen patrons must have a parent present with a Photo ID to obtain a library card. Board games are available to play in the Teen Library and do not require a library card.
