Joplin, MO 64801
(417) 623-7953

Hours:
Monday - Thursday 9am to 9pm
Friday - Saturday 9am to 6pm
Sunday 12pm to 6pm


The Joplin Public Library's Teen Department (aka Land of the Unknown) has been in it's current location since February 2007, but was officially opened after remodeling/redecorating in September 2007. Since then, we've been working hard to provide area teens with cool programming and an amazing teen book and audiobook collection. So far so good!

We have regular teen programs like Teen Knitting each Thursday in the Teen Department, YAAC (Young Adult Advisory Council) meetings the 1st Friday of each month and Manga/Anime Club meetings the 4th Saturday of each month.

For us, a "teen" is anyone in grades 6-12. This means that after school on the day you graduate from 5th grade until after school on the day you graduate from high school, you can participate in any Teen activity.

See you @ the Library!!

P.S. You probably already know this, but just in case: The Joplin Public Library has no control over the ads that appear on our MySpace page nor do we have control over the content of our friends' pages.

P.P.S. If you send us a message via MySpace and we're not friends, please make sure we can message you back (i.e. you're not blocking messages from non-friends) or that we have enough information to friend you or something... There's nothing worse for a librarian than to have a question asked and have no way of getting it answered!


Who I'd like to meet:

Joplin area teens, teen authors, other libraries, and various other cool people.
