What does Inverclyde Libraries have for 12-15 year olds?
From Study Group to Table Top Gaming and young adult book stock we have lots to offer 12-15 year olds.
Lots of Books
All libraries have an excellent selection of books for all ages and stages.
We have young adult collections in all libraries with books aimed at young people aged 12-15 (although younger and older people often enjoy these books).
You can borrow 20 books at a time at no cost and we do not charge children and young people for overdue books if you keep them a little bit longer!
If you can’t find what you’re looking for please ask and you can also place a Stock Suggestion.
