Oneida Community Library's Page just for teens. The kids' page also has great links, so make sure you check them out, but here are some links compiled just for teenagers: (Make sure you check out all the links to teen pages on our "Cool Libraries" Sites page, too :) We've also got info on our great book and comix club. For anime and manga links, we've got some really cool links on the Anime Page. Check out our Teen Wiki, too, and let Kymberley know if you'd like to add content to it.

Know you should be reading but can't tear yourself away from the computer? Try our newTry some Tumblebook novels!
(yeah, it looks kid-ish, but there's some good stuff for teens in there,too.)We also have e-books on NetLibrary and Overdrive books. Never worry about overdue fines again! Download a Overdrive player onto your PC (they're MP3 compatible, too) and listen to an audiobook. If you want to download a book and burn it to CDs, we'll provide the CDs for you.

You want a regular book? We still have them, LOL. You'll find those (from over 50 different libraries, but they can all be sent to Oneida for you) here: Infosoup, our card catalog and a whlole lot more!!

Like videos? Watch some really cool ones here.

Here's a link I wanted to share that's not online, but I still think it's good to have:
Native Youth Crisis Hotline: 1-877-209-1266.
Write it down, it's a good number to know, if not for you, then maybe a friend.
Please be careful while you're on the Internet at home or at one of our 5 youth Internet PCs here, and follow the advice on the graphic below:

MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, Bebo, GaiaOnline and other sites are a lot of fun,
but they can be dangerous or even deadly.
Please be careful--I really don't want anything happening to you guys, okay?
Some really bad things have been happening to people
that share all that information in this area. Yeah, even on the Rez.
So don't be telling everybody about yourself, okay?
Some things are better said in person.
But if you're into the Web 2.0 stuff, try this page. >.>
