TAB is putting together our first program: a Gingerbread House Decorating event! Do you have ideas about how this event should run? Do you love holiday baking? Join us as we iron out the details for this upcoming December program!

A TAB is a group of teen volunteers who meet once a month to plan programs, events, and recommend titles or other materials for the library's YA collection. It's a great chance for teenagers to make a difference in their community while earning volunteer hours and developing leadership skills!

Any Monroe Free Library Cardholder in grades 6-12 may attend. If you are not a current volunteer, you will have to fill out our volunteer paperwork at the start of the meeting.

(Registration begins for all Teen programs on the 25th of the previous month.)

Do you need some help with your laptop, your phone, your Ereader. Every Wednesday from 4:00pm to 5:00pm, the reference department will provide walk in tech help. Our team we will do our best to help with your problem and point you in the right direction as needed. It is a first come first serve basis and this service will only be available from 4-5.Though you do not need to sign up, you may want to call before coming in

Eli has been crocheting for 4 years. In that time she has crocheted everything from dice bags to dog blankets. She has taught many of her (entirely willing) friends to crochet as well.
