New Teen Books


Books, Movies & More

Looking for something good to read, watch or listen to? We’ve got you covered! Get ideas from Goodreads Young Adult  or search our online catalog.

Check out this list of tough topics with their corresponding Dewy Decimal numbers, so you can search for books you might be afraid to ask about on your own.

Don’t forget, we also have ebooks, eaudiobooks, emagazines and video you can stream or download directly to your phone, tablet or computer!


Don't Forget Your Homework

We have more than just books to help you ace those pesky school assignments! Our Resources for Students page has lots of research options you can use any time (including the middle of the night when your paper is due the next day.) All you need is your library card.

The Main Library in Frisco and the South Branch in Breckenridge have study rooms you can reserve for your study group.

Volunteering

Do you want to give back to your community or gain job experience? Teens volunteer their time and earn community service hours at the library. Time can be used for IB Credit, National Honor Society, working off library fines, or community service.

Junior Librarians at South Branch

Youth Advisory Commitee (YAC) at North Branch

A great way to do this is by joining our teen groups. Members help plan library events and give input on what they’d like offered for teens.

Other Opportunities

Teens can volunteer their time by doing various tasks at any of our three branches. Volunteer duties may include things like helping with events, children's programs, creating displays, preparing crafts, cleaning, recycling and shelving. Email Shayne to volunteer at  theSouth Branch in Breckenridge, Christina to volunteer at the Main Library in Frisco or the North Branch in Silverthorne.
