The Teen Space is located on the 2nd floor of the library and is open to teens ages 12-18. Teens are asked to check in at the Reference Desk when they arrive. While you’re here our expectations are:
- Respect Yourself: Behave appropriately for a public space - this means anywhere on library property.
- Respect Others: Use suitable language, wear headphones when listening to a device, use an appropriate volume when speaking with others.
- Respect the Space: Take care of the furniture and games, pick up after yourself (leave the room the way you found it).
APL promises to offer teens a comfortable place for doing homework, reading, gaming (LEGOS, Board Games, Video Games), socializing, hosting fun events, and listening to your interests.
Teen programs are offered throughout each month both in the Teen Space and in the Androsocoggin Community Room. Please see the calendar for program details.
Upcoming Events
As part of our partnership with the National Digital Equity Center, a Digital Navigator will be available, in the Computer Lab, on select Mondays from 1:00-3:00 pm. Bailey works within Androscoggin County to help close the digital divide.
This book group calls itself The Tuesday Mystery Club, a name similar to The Thursday Murder Club. The group selects different types of mysteries to read each month, and books range from recent publications to older ones.
Community Credit Union's Financial & Life Navigator, Ginger Leigh Smith, will be on site at the Auburn Public Library today. The navigator can help with resource coordination, financial education, and serves as a conduit for stability in

Whether it be crocheting, drawing, origami or something else entirely, The Teen Space Craft Club serves as a time to work on any arts and crafts related projects, share advice and learn something new.
