Libraries offer a stack of free programs for kids and teens
MUKILTEO — After the Langley Library was renovated, a group of teens began sneaking their friends in through a side door.
Instead of freaking out, Sno-Isle Libraries director Eric Howard cheered them on. Whether they come through the front door or the side — the more kids who visit the library, the merrier.
Libraries aim to be safe places where “kids can explore their independence surrounded by caring adults,” Howard said.
Sno-Isle’s 23 libraries and the Everett Public Library’s two branches offer a smorgasbord of free after-school programs, including free online tutoring, free job and college prep and, in Everett, karaoke!
