Even in this unprecedented time, the Library is still serving young adults in our community, providing educational support for these unique circumstances. Under the supervision of Ahmed AlMalki, Head of the Young Adults’ Library, the department offers many services, facilities and resources that you can explore both in the Library or online.

Library Membership

To access our exciting resources online and to check out books, you need to be a Library member. Don’t worry, it’s easy. To become a member, visit the registration site with your parent; it’s quick, and you can do it all online!

Search Our Catalog

The Library catalog or search box is the place to start if you want to know what print materials or resources we have for young adults. Because of our limited hours, if you want to make a reservation to check out any print books, please fill out the booking form and schedule a visit. We’ll need 48 hours to process book requests, so be sure you plan ahead!

Visit the Library

As you know, things have been a little different in the world lately, and the Library is no exception. For now, you have to book an appointment in advance here to visit us. We recommend that you do book two days before your actual visit, especially if you want to check out books. Once you’re here, you’ll have to follow the safety rules we’ve all learned to get used to: masks, social distancing and avoiding big crowds.

Research Appointment

If you need help with a research assignment, you can make an appointment or virtual meeting with a designated young adults librarian who is happy to assist you with research and resources. To make an appointment, please click here. A librarian will contact you soon and help you schedule a virtual meeting.

Innovation Stations

Our fun, creative Innovation Stations are open as well, with health rules in place, of course. To learn more, check out the Innovation Stations page. To book a room in advance, email us at [email protected]

Monthly Events

We’re still holding plenty of events for young adults each month, we’ve just taken them online! Whether you need help with homework, want to play chess against friends or have some writing you want to share, we’ve got plenty of programs specially designed for you. Check out our complete list of programs for young adults and sign up!

Stay healthy and safe, and look forward to seeing you soon!
