Books and Reading

We have plenty to read and borrow in every format: print, audio and e-books. We'll even mail them to you if you can't make it here.  And if you can't decide what to read next, our staff is here with suggestions and booklists. You can also get involved with our two clubs (Go Between Club & Teen Advisory Board)  to talk about books and more with your peers.

Check out our staff picks here!

Events

There's always something going on at the library. Whether it's the weekly "Game On" on Fridays afternoons, or annual events like the A Cappella Night or  Battle of the Bands, there's something cool happening at 65 Witherspoon.

Homework Help

Whether it's live, in person after-school homework help program beginning on October 1, 2012, or live, online help, writing assistance, test prep, and more through Brainfuse, we're here to help you succeed. We also now have Mac laptops available for middle and high school students to borrow for use with homework.  Any time you have a question or need help you can always feel free to ask us.

Here's a short-cut to a list of 10+ Essential Homework and Research Resources available online and with your PPL card.

Student Film Festival

For nine years the Princeton Student Film & Video Festival has supported the work of youth filmmakers in a range of genres and styles, with the opportunity and a venue for the filmmakers to show their work to a broad audience. For more info on past festivals and how to submit your film for the next one, or to find the dates and list of this year's selections so you can attend, see our festival homepage.

Are you interested in contributing your time and talents at the library? Apply to volunteer at the libary the summer! Volunteering can be a satisfying way to invest your time and energy, use your special skills, get work experience, help build your portfolio of experience for college, and give back to the library and the Princeton community. Teen volunteers greatly contribute to the library by helping the Youth Services staff with our Summer Reading Clubs, library events and other project-based tasks. The deadline for applying is May 25. Preference will be given to Princeton Public Library cardholders. Applicants who are selected will be notified by email by the end of May.
