All Dallas libraries to have teen centers by June 16
On June 16, every branch library in the City of Dallas will have its own Teen Center. City staff, representatives from AT&T and elected officials will gather at Dallas West Library at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 16 to celebrate the official opening. A $500,000 grant from the AT&T Foundation is funding laptops, materials, digital cam- eras, workshops and programs for the new Teen Centers. The Dallas Public Library’s three newest Teen Centers: Skillman Southwestern, Park Forest and North Oak Cliff, were also largely sponsored by AT&T.
“We salute the generosity of AT&T for having the vision and making this commitment to the young people of Dallas,” said Director of Libraries Laurie Evans. “I can’t think of a better way to start the summer. We’re privileged to be able to provide teens with a variety of interesting and exciting programs that will help them on the road to adulthood.”
As the celebration is being held at Dallas West, staff at all 25 Dallas Public Library branches will mark the opening of their own Teen Centers. In addition to the speakers, teen performers, snacks and a demonstration of the library’s homework help program are on the agenda.
