Teen Programs

Persons with disabilities can arrange for special assistance by calling (847) 923-3347 two weeks prior to the program. Register for most programs by sending an email to Amy Alessio, Teen Coordinator, or by calling (847) 923-3191. Amy works part-time, so it may take a few days for a return call or email. Information on teen events can also be found at www.myspace.com/stdlteen. Programs with a fee require registration in person at the Information/Magazines Desk.
