During class hours, be sure to sign in at the front desk laptop of with your phone using the QR code by the sign in. If you need more time afterschool, you can head right over to the Seward Park Library which has a special teen section and later hours. It's right across Seward Park at 192 East Broadway.

We have interns!

Our newest and most exciting news is that we are now fully staffed with interns for every period of the day. These interns are being trained to do the various functions of the library, so do not be surprised if you see an intern helping you with the printer, checking out your books, or giving you a tour of the library. In fact, here is the first little tour video they've prepared for us.

The Moth

The Moth is an amazing storytelling organization that looks to empower people with the ability to tell their stories in order to build empathy and community! We'd love to host a residency here!


Are you:


  • In 10-12th grade?
  • Able to commit to 2 hrs a week afterschool for 8 weeks?
  • Willing to share your story (don't worry, they'll teach you how)?
  • Wanting to build a community of peers?


Moth Story Lab
Join us to develop, practice and share your very own personal story! The Moth Story Lab is a free, out-of school storytelling workshop for high school students (grades 10-12). This 8-week workshop teaches the art and craft of true, personal storytelling (including games, brainstorming, and story crafting) and culminates in a final share. It's a wonderful opportunity to develop and share a story from your life, whether it be for yourself, friends, the family dinner table, or even a starting point for your college essay.

Virtual and in person options are available. In Person workshops will take place at The Moth offices at 75 Broad Street in Manhattan (in the financial district)

Fall storytelling workshops kick off on October 7! For more information (and schedule specifics), visit our website here http://themoth.org/education. If you have any questions, please email
education@themoth.org.
