Hang Out, Mess Around, Geek Out
Young Adult Space
About Us
Hampton Library recognizes that young adults need and deserve services tailored to address their unique educational, informational, cultural, and leisure time needs. Our Young Adult Space provides a safe and welcoming environment for all teens within the greater Bridgehampton - Sagaponak Community, with special programming that is designed for youth entering grades 6 through 12. Here young adults can grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially in a caring, nurturing and respectful environment; where they can develop new literacies for learning and expression; where they can use the library’s research resources to study, read, write, discuss books, socialize, participate in programming, or simply “hang out,” as well as gain workplace preparedness through engagement in various community service projects.
Fall in the YA Space
It’s September and that means the beautiful Autumn weather is right around the corner. We wish you luck on your venture back to school! We miss all of you and cannot wait to see you virtually for programming or when you visit the Library for modified use.
Don’t forget about BrainFuse, an online resource accessible through our website that provides homework and studying help, as well as writing assistance for any papers you may have. We will be starting a book club called Read Woke, which will focus on stories about disenfranchised and/or underrepresented groups of people. We encourage you to participate and stay woke through literature! Virtual community service opportunities are available, as well. Contact Miss Shannon via email at shannon@hamptonlibrary.org for more info!
Travel-size Toiletry Drive: We will be collecting donations of travelsize toiletries such as: baby wipes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, Hand-warmers, Band-aids and hand sanitizer. Teens can earn community service by creating a toiletry bag with at least 5 of the items listed. Contact Miss Shannon for more info.
