Teen Space

Dunedin Public Libraries offers youth friendly multi purpose public spaces in their City and Mosgiel Libraries. Initially an experimental project to encourage teenagers to use the Library, the well known “Teen Space” has stood the test of time and is a popular space for youth of the city to read, relax, socialise, run events and basically do a lot of cool stuff! In the City Library, the Teen Space does not only house the latest books and music, the flexibility of the space allows it to be used as  a performance area, as well as an exhibition gallery for artwork. It has also become a regular venue for events, musicians, comic artists and film screenings. The Mosgiel Library’s Teen Space, is smaller yet similar to the area at the City Library, featuring comfortable retro furniture, original art, free access to the internet and the latest books, magazines and graphic novels.
