Young Adult Media at DAML

Attention teens! The library needs your help! Please consider joining Food for Thought, our library teen group. This group meets the first Thursday of each month from 4-5 pm. Teens 7th grade and up get together to talk about books, movies, and current topics. They also select books and DVDs for the library and help to plan special events. This is a great community service opportunity! If you are interested, please call Jill or Susan at 878-4918.
