Welcome to the TeenZone

Right Now...

The TeenZone at Monterey Public Library is a space just for young people. Come by after school, on the weekends, or throughout the summer to read, use the internet, do homework, or relax. While you're here, have our teen-friendly librarians answer your burning questions, help you select a book, movie, album, or magazine, and participate in our events and programs.
