Turning the library
into a hang-out

There are so many things to distract an 11-year-old from reading. While Taylor loves adventure and mystery books, this sixth-grade cheerleader admits that the library can be “a little bit boring” if her friends aren’t around. She thinks the new Charles City County library might appeal more to kids her age if it hosted fun activities like book discussion groups, and had a poetry section and plenty of computers. Taylor suggests that a café in the library would be a fun place for her and her friends to hang out.
