Pencils down. Teens aged 12 to 16 years old have put in three full weeks of school at this point. It’s time to blow off some steam (the invisible gaseous phase of water that forms when liquid water absorbs enough thermal energy to break its hydrogen bonds and undergo a phase transition) at the Teen Hangout scheduled at the Pahrump Community Library Friday from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Games, crafts, music, and snacks will be provided. 701 East St. 775-727-5930. No quizzes, no homework required.
