Every Tuesday & Thursday, 6:30 to 9:00 pm
When you ask teens what they like to do, they usually answer, "Hang out with my friends." Here is a program just for that. We provide computer lab, library, PlayStation2, X-Box, board games, music, movies and a safe environment to enjoy them with friends. There is a non-member fee of $2.00 per night.
