    Nov 02, 2011 06:08 EDT The New York Public Library Opens The State-Of-The-Art Hamilton Grange Teen Center Teens are about to get their very own high-tech space inNorthern Manhattan. The New York Public Library is opening its brand new, state-of-the-art Hamilton Grange Teen Center on Oct. 25 for kids between the ages of 13 and 17. It is the first NYPL teen center in Northern Manhattan, and while teens from across the city are welcome, it will primarily serve the neighborhoods of Harlem, Washington Heights and Hamilton Heights – an area in which about 30 percent of residents are under 19. Library studies show that nearly 60 percent of kids between 8 and 18 in that area use their local library at least once a month, and nearly 30 percent of those said they would use it even more if there was a space specifically set aside for teens. “The Hamilton Grange Teen Center epitomizes the NYPL’s vision of neighborhood libraries as active, strong centers of learning in the community,” said NYPL President Anthony W. Marx. “The new center is a safe place where teens can come together to learn and to create, to socialize and to study.We have listened to our teens and are giving them what they crave – a private area dedicated to their specific needs and access to technology, which is increasingly important in today’s world. We believe that spaces like these will keep young people in the library, help them grow and set the foundation for strong, healthy communities.” The 4,400-square-foot space – located on the previously empty third floor of the Hamilton Grange Library at 503 West 145th Street – offers teens high- tech AV equipment, 30 computers and a media room stacked with a plasma TV, a Blue Ray DVD player, a digital video projector, extensive audio system, satellite TV receiver and more.
