The Teen Advisory Board

The Hamilton Easy Public Library TeenZone is all about… teens! That means that it’s important to our team to get the opinions of local teens about the library’s programs and services. We have an awesome crew of energetic teens that are helping us make our TeenZone a better place to be! Interested in joining?

Neurodivergent Teen Hangout
Thursday, June 01, 2023 @ 6:00 PM

This program is an opportunity for neurodivergent teens to hang out, do an activity, and connect with their peers. Each month will feature a different theme and activity. Lower lighting and KultureCity Kits (which include fidgets and noise reducing headphones) will be provided. Parents are not required to stay in the room but should stay in the library to be available if needed. This program is designed as a social club, not a form of childcare.

*What does it mean to be neurodivergent? Someone who is neurodivergent behaves, thinks and learns differently compared to those who are neurotypical. This includes autistic people and people with ADHD, Tourette's, dyslexia, or a range of other neurodiverse conditions.

This month's theme is gaming! We will have board games, video games, and VR games available to play by yourself or with others.

This program is for teens and their caregivers only. Registration required.
