Teens

The Fond du Lac Public Library will hire its first-ever teen intern for this summer, providing that teen an opportunity to create their own connected learning project while working directly with mentors at the Fond du Lac Public Library. 

The position has been created with support from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and is based on the Public Library Association’s Inclusive Internship Initiative. 

The intern will work for 60-120 hours, which can begin as early as Monday, June 3 and must be completed by Friday, Aug. 30.

Join us at 4:30 PM on the third Tuesday of each month for an activity that explores the intersections between science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Each month we'll have a different art or craft project. We provide the supplies, you provide the imagination! Don't be intimidated - we're basically hanging out and making stuff. Can't make it? Check out the Teen Space after the event for instructions on how to do this month's project for yourself! Geared for those in grades 6-12 - younger folks will probably struggle with the difficulty level. Registration is generally not necessary unless supplies are very limited.

Tuesday, May 21 @ 4:30 PM - Decorated Tote Bags

Thursday, May 16, 4:00-6:00 PM

Calling all teen anime enthusiasts! Join us from 4:30-5:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month to watch a couple episodes of an anime we choose (and eat snacks). Cosplay is always welcome! Geared toward middle school and high school students. We'll pick an anime to watch by consensus, so you're not stuck watching something you don't like - and if we don't get to your suggestion, we'll save it for next month.
