Andrew Bayne Memorial Library is converting the old VHS room into a “tween and teen” room.

The library is developing a collection of materials for tween and teen patrons, and will run programs geared toward that age group.

The room will be a casual, teen-only area for teens to gather to work and study, along with an area to have programs, socialize and utilize technology.
