About the Tween Room

The Tween Room at the Brookline Village Library is a space entirely devoted to tweens (grades 5-7): the collections, the comfy chairs – it’s all for our local tweens!


Say hello!

Our Tween Librarian is in the Tween Room every week day in the afternoon.  If you don’t see them, please ask at the Children’s Room or Teen Desk for help.


Rules of the room

Tweens in grades 5-7 are welcome in the Tween Room.

This room is exclusively for tweens at all times.  Adults and younger people are allowed to come in and look for a book, or to accompany a tween, but the hang out space is tweens only.

You may hang out in the tween space and enjoy all it has to offer if you:

Respect yourself and others.

  • Keep your hands to yourself.
  • Use appropriate language.
  • Use your indoor voice.
  • Keep phone and computer volume to a minimum.
  • Be respectful to library staff.

Respect the Space

  • Pick up after yourself.
  • Eat warm food and meals in the cafe area.
  • Return the furniture to its place.
  • Use furniture for its proper purpose: no sitting on tables, standing on chairs, etc.
  • No running

If you do not follow these rules you may be asked to leave the library.
