teen services

programming & events

Teen Services at the Gretna Public Library are designed for young adults in 6-12th grade. Although registration is sometimes required, a library card is never required for any programming, so you’re welcome (and encouraged!) to bring along a friend.

teen advisory board

The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is a group of volunteers who work to make the library better. Members offer suggestions; propose, trial, and volunteer at programs; work on library décor; enjoy delicious free pizza; pet dogs; play games; and more!

Joining TAB is a great way to make a difference in the community by keeping the library relevant to what Gretna teens want and need. Plus, it looks pretty good on a résumé.

Students in 6-12th grade may apply to be a member with guardian permission. TAB meets on the first Thursday of the month from 4-5pm.

Bookwyrms is the young adult book club at Gretna Public Library. Young adults in 7th-12th grade are welcome to join and and enjoy books, snacks, games, and company. It meets the last Thursday of the month from 4-5pm.

teen takeouts

Teen Takeouts are activity kits to go! Each kit contains materials to make a small craft and a link to the instructions to complete it. They are available on a first-come, first-serve basis each month in the teen section of the library. You can suggest kit ideas at this link.
