Some of the most popular books are the ones that have recently been made into films.
The Fault in our Stars by John Green is at the top of Nielsen's NZ bestseller young-adult book list last week, and fans of the book weren't hard to find at the library yesterday.
"It's not a normal love story," said Emily Sheperd, 14.
Others were reading older series books for the first time and still find the magic in books.
"I'm reading Twilight at the moment," said Natalie Xu, 14. "It's a fun escape."
But some older teens are interested in more colourful reads.
Shane Jopling, 17, has only been to the programme for a few days but walks out with some new books to read each time.
"At the moment I am reading a lot of manga," he said.
"The library has been really cool, lots of stuff to do."
The programme lasted two hours each day but many teens decided to hang around after the crafts and food was packed up.
"A lot of them won't want to go," said librarian Robyn Kay. "We have a lot of them bringing their siblings and staying for the whole day."
As well as fuelling their imaginations, the teens can also fuel up on a free breakfast.
It is a new addition to the winter holiday programme and the library plans on carrying it on to future school holiday programmes.
