Our collection of Young Adult fiction, comics, graphic novels, manga, non-fiction, and video games is open to all for browsing and borrowing.

Field Teen Center librarians support Philadelphia students and educators by offering virtual class visits, including instruction on using Free Library databases for academic research customized to class projects. We encourage educators to email TeenCenter@FreeLibrary.org or call us at 215-686-5395 with any questions, suggestions, or to schedule a class visit.
