Why does the Jones Library need a dedicated YA room? One reason, the lack of space when more than 10 patrons try to use the collection at one time. Another reason, the fact that there is no dedicated YA computer space, or homework space, or private quiet space for reading, or space for us to have Teen Lounge... #supportthejones #supportYAlibraryspaces #joneslibteens #joneslibraryteens #librariesofinstagram (at Jones Library)

Get ready, the Jones library teens are going to be getting into costume and character soon to film our new YA PSA commercial to be broadcast throughout the region.

If you are interested in filming, story board design, or acting, call The Jones Library in Amherst at 413-259-3091.

Or stop by and see Shauna for the details.

This film is open to anyone who uses the YA spaces at the library and are ready for a change. Along with Shauna, The Jones Library, and the Town of Amherst, your voice CAN be heard!

So be sure to get your adult's permission to be on camera and stop by the library. It’s going to be amazing!

"In winter, in my room, I began to squirm, To break free from the norm. But as I squirmed And I presume, To amuse those free to roam-- Tried to be stealthy And took a selfie, To place me in the throng." #MuseumSelfieDay
