WELCOME TO OUR TEEN SPACE: A SPACE FOR TEENS TO READ, STUDY, OR JUST HANG OUT!
Our updated Teen Space has 4 dedicated computer workstations, along with soft chairs and cafe tables. In addition, you can relax by the fireplace, book the study room for small group studying, and use study carrels and tables throughout the Library. We’ve also expanded our print collection to include a middle school section!

Finals Studying: Extended Hours and a Dedicated Meeting Room
During Finals week at Mahomet-Seymour High School, the Library’s meeting room is dedicated as group study space for teens after school and all weekend. Of course, you can also study anywhere else in the Library.
To give you even more study time, we stay open 2 hours later (until 10pm) on weeknights leading up to finals!
