Teen librarian Roy wanted to focus this summer's events around every aspect of the environment, the social-emotional, neighborhood and natural environments for local teens.
He's worked to convert the library into a performance space for open mics that foster self-expression and critical thinking, and also flips the room into a yoga space designed to build energy and focus. Roy's also creatively adapting the library to meet teens' interests and needs by welcoming a variety of special guests, including photographer Jim Kropp, Black Girl in Ohm, Afterschool Matters and Kamilah Rashied.
Richard M. Daley Branch is a recipient of a 2018 Teen Summer Challenge: Imagine Doing More! mini-grant made possible through the Chicago Public Library Foundation. #ImagineAtCPL #CPLTeens #NoSmallPlans
