The children’s branch of Menlo Park’s main library will hold the second in what it expects will be a monthly series of “teen nights,” inviting teens to the library for food, movies and games on Friday, Nov. 21, at 7 p.m.
The event, sponsored by the Friends of the Menlo Park Library, is part of an ongoing effort by the library to draw a younger crowd, said Michelle Barrese, head of youth services.
About 25 teens, mostly middle schoolers, came out for the first event on Oct. 24, which Ms. Barrese noted was competing that night with a dance at Hillview Middle School. The library provided food, made computers and board games available, and screened two episodes of the television series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” — the kids’ choice, according to Ms. Barrese.
This time around, the library will set up a henna tattoo station and a video game system where kids can play “Guitar Hero.”
