There’s a new spot in Berks County where students can socialize and be creative in a safe environment.<\/p>\n
“The Lounge” on Saint Lawrence Avenue in Saint Lawrence opened its doors earlier Friday night.<\/p>\n
There, students can study, get help with schoolwork and just hang out with friends.<\/p>\n
The space offers everything from video games and ping-pong to live music and a study area.<\/p>\n
Its founder says there was a need in the community for a space where students can go after school to unwind and not be glued to screens.<\/p>\n
“In the height of technology, students, especially teens, are on their phones and devices, a lot, spaces like The Lounge are very hard to come by, where they can have those face to face interactions,” Stacia Miller, founder of the Lounge, said.<\/p>\n
The Lounge is open to all students across Berks County.<\/p>\n
