HYPE Teen Center

What is HYPE?

H.Y.P.E. stands for Helping Young People Excel. It is the umbrella for teen focused programs and services at the Detroit Public Library (DPL).

DPL recognizes that teens need their own space to learn, explore, or simply hang out. Our vision for teen services is to provide an environment that inspires our teens to strive for and achieve their highest potential!

It all starts with a library card.

The HYPE Teen card is a library card that also gives you access to the HYPE Teen Center at Main Library.

Sign up at the HYPE Teen Center or Main Library Circulation.

The card is for teens ages 13-18. If you're just turning 13, bring your DPL Juvenile library card and we'll convert it to a HYPE Teen card.

MiLibraryQuest Winter Mystery Quest Clue

If you prefer to, as they say, "rough it", there are places to spend the night nearby. A bit uncivilized in my opinion, but to each their own.
