Created to provide specialized public library services to students in Grades 6 through 12, the Teen Services Department at Scarsdale Public Library was established in December 2020 when the Library reopened to the public following its renovation and public safety/pandemic closures.
Beginning in May 2021, Scarsdale Public Librarians Jennifer Brinley (She/her/hers; They/them/theirs) and Katie Karkheck (She/her/hers) teamed up with Greenburgh Public Librarian Emily Dowie (She/her/hers) to offer Teen GSA (Gender and Sexuality Alliance), a monthly series of chats hosted over Zoom to be a safe space for queer or questioning teens *and* their allies to meet and discuss young adult literature or whatever's on their minds.
The program meets during the school year. Please check this site again in Fall 2022 for updates on the meeting schedule.
