Kanawha County Public Library Teen Services

As part of the Otis Laury Nutritional Literacy Initiative, the Teen Zone hosted a FriendsGiving on Monday! Teens enjoyed a feast of turkey, green beans, macaroni and cheese, yams, and pumpkin pie with their friends.

At KCPL, we are super thankful for all of YOU!

What do other students say?
The tutors always have the easiest and best methods for every question! 8th
The Tutor was helpful and understanding! I felt listened to and didn’t feel talked down to or berated for asking for clarification or guessing wrong. Honestly this is such a good service and I love that I don’t have to pay for
it.
10th
I had 0 clue how the heck to do scientific notation conversation before this, even though we went over it in
class and I asked a friend, but now I really feel like I get it!
