Teen(ish) Book Club
Book Nerds Unite! Like to read and discuss? Want a free book? Join us for Teen(ish) Book Club monthly in the library’s meeting room.
Recommended for ages 13(ish)-18(ish). Recent selections have included The Gilded Ones, Fable, and Shadow and Bone. Members vote on upcoming selections and on the date and time of book clubs.
These are casual conversations to which all are invited! The first 10 registrants always receive a free copy of the book.
Up next, something very exciting! The book club, alongside Books-n-Bites, will welcome author Brandon Mull on Wednesday, Oct 11, from 4:30-5:30pm in the library’s Meeting Room. Participants will be able to choose one from among three books (Fablehaven, The Beyonders, or The Candy Shop War), but space is limited for this event so register ASAP if you’d like to join.
REGISTER HERE for the book club or email adickinson@montroselibrary.org for more information, and check the Montrose Library Facebook page to find out the latest.
Teen(ish) Makers Series
Ready to try something new? Join us for the Teen(ish) Maker Series, and experiment with art, music, and other creative pursuits. Recent workshops have explored the art of book folding, the ukulele, crochet, sushi-making, gel print painting, and zines.
The fall’s Teen Maker Series includes two workshops, topics TBD:
Wednesday, September 27, from 4:30-5:30pm

Stay tuned to the website and Facebook for announcement of workshop topics soon!
Teen(ish) Literary Magazine
Submissions have now closed for the third annual Teen Literary Magazine, presented by the Montrose Regional Library District and Delta County Libraries! The publication is currently in the final stages of layout. Writers, we’ll be in touch as soon as we have a specific publication date. Readers, get ready for free copies of the publication in late August or early September!
Teen(ish) Game Nights
Teen(ish) Game Nights occur roughly every other month, alongside occasional Teen(ish) Trivia Nights.
Game Nights feature snacks (and pizza, if we’re lucky), Nintendo Switches, and lots of video and board game options. Feel free to bring your own controllers. For ages 11(ish) to 18(ish).
Game Nights return in the fall with a full line-up. Join us in the library meeting room for some friendly competition on:
Wednesday, September 13, from 5-7pm
Wednesday, October 25, from 5-7pm
Wednesday, November 8, from 5-7pm
REGISTER HERE for game night!
TAB (Teen Advisory Board)
The Montrose Library’s Teen Advisory Board is chance to connect and influence decision-making in the library!
TAB members currently lead a redesign of the teen space in the library, plan and help run programming for teens (like trivia and game nights), and advise library staff on decisions that impact teens in the library and the community. TAB is a good way to accumulate volunteer hours, beef up your resume, and meet other bookish teens. Attendance at all meetings is not mandatory – come to as many as you can.
Email Amy D. at adickinson@montroselibrary.org or text her at 970-275-9383 for info on how to join.
