TEEN LIBRARY DISCORD

Want to hang out with your peers in a safe, online space? Our librarian-moderated Discord server is the place for you! We have spaces for you to chat with friends, participate in pop-up game nights, share your artwork and writing, and play Dungeons & Dragons! The full calendar of events is in the server, but most game nights occur on Friday evenings.

Teens ages 13-18 can join the server by filling out the form HERE.

Please contact teen librarian Raeann at macneilr@northlandlibrary.org if you have questions!

The Teen Library Discord Server is brought to you by these participating libraries: Brentwood, Bridgeville, Cooper-Siegel, Northern Tier, Northland, and Robinson.
