Here is what the Medicine Hat library has planned for teens

Aug 27, 2024 | 7:53 PM

The Medicine Hat Public Library is ramping up its teen programming as summer wraps up and the school year begins.

From its TIC TOC teen committee to increased library teen takeovers to “101” information sessions, the library has lots on over the next two months.

Unity circles — a safe space to make friends, learn self-care skills, have fun and find supports — runs from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 10 and Oct. 15.

Anime parties will run from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 5 and 19 and Oct. 10, 17, and 31. Teens will vote what to watch each week.

October will be capped off with an anime party on Oct. 31.
