""From dancing, art and activities, Anti-Prom at St. George Library Center on Friday evening was a success! Anti-Prom encourages teens and all young people to come as they are in hopes that they feel seen, have a voice, and feel affirmed at the library.""
""We've been holding Anti-Prom for over 20 years at The New York Public Library, and it's one of our most high-profile events for young adults. Anti-Prom is one example of how the library is dedicated to serving teens by providing space to be themselves, find community, and experience joy.""
