Teen Movie Night

Every Friday during the School year Tualatin library hosts a Teen Movie Night. The library closes at 6, but the teen room stays open and the teens play games, and vote on the movie they want to watch. We often range between a dozen and thirty teens mainly middle-schoolers without other Friday night plans. We get many repeat teens and in teen movie night are able to build relationship s with them that carry on through the rest of our interactions in the library. I often find that the teens that come to teen movie night are more willing to ask reference questions and ask the all of the staff for help. Having programs like teen movie night makes teens especially feel welcome in the library.
