This October, Washoe County Library System will offer a month of exciting programming for teens during the national celebration of TeenTober. Developed by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), TeenTober is a month-long event promoting year-round services that help teens learn new skills and fuel their passions. This year’s TeenTober events include crafts, games, and other activities designed for teen interests.
On Friday, October 18, the library system will partner with The Holland Project, a local all-ages arts and music nonprofit, for a hall of mirrors-themed art reception. The reception will mark the close of Young Blood, the Holland Project’s group exhibition for artists under 21. The Young Blood reception will take place at the Holland Project gallery, 140 Vesta St., Reno. Festivities will kick off at 5:30 p.m. with music, hands-on activities, and refreshments. Entry is a suggested $1 donation. Visit hollandreno.org/youngblood for details.
Additionally, teens can get involved by visiting Washoe County Library System’s TeenTober web page. The page offers access to online resources, volunteer opportunities, and a calendar of events focused on art, culture, STEAM, and educational enrichment.
