Teen(ish) Literary Magazine
It’s here! Copies of the fourth annual edition of the Teen Literary Magazine are available to the public in the Montrose Regional Library starting September 3. Thanks so much to all the editors, writers, and artists who made this possible and for sharing their time and voices with our community. Huge thanks, too, to the Friends of the Montrose Library for their ongoing support of the project. It wouldn’t be possible without the FOL!
Stay tuned in early 2025 for more information on upcoming editions of the magazine, including how to submit or how to be a part of the editorial board.
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 Teens After Hours themes and activities) and advise library staff on decisions that impact teens in the library and the community. Attendance at all meetings is not mandatory, but it’s a great way to build up volunteer hours!
Email heaster@montroselibrary.org or text at 970-275-9383 for info on how to join.
Teens After Hours
Need a night out? Join us every month for a fun Friday night out with the library!
Teens After Hours is the result of listening to the community of what is missing for teens. A safe place to gather for teens only, to learn new skills, hang out with teens and just be. This program will encompass old favorites such as Teenish Game Night and Makers Series. Each Teens After Hours will look to encompass 2 crowds of enjoyment and interest. Bring yourself and a friend and let’s make Friday nights worth leaving the bored doom scrolling at home.
Our first Teens After Hours event will be hosted at La Familia Music Group on January 24th from 6:00pm-8:00pm . Learn how to write Slam Poetry then put it to some sick beats with a DJ workshop provided by the LFMG Music Academy. This will be the first of many Friday night activities for teens to enjoy in the community.
2025 Teens After Hours themes will include gaming, LoFi studying around finals, mocktails & chill during summer, and a cosplay/costume ball!
Even a volunteer fair for those who need volunteer hours and have no idea where to start or would merely like to expand their knowledge.
