What is the Teen Advisory Board?
The Teen Advisory Board is a group of students (grades 7-12 or homeschooled equivalent) who will meet monthly at the library to share ideas and unique perspective to improve library services to teens. Our meetings will be different from one month to the next, depending on the goals TAB members wish to pursue. We’ll likely discuss a wide variety of topics, including what’s going on this month at the library, news in the teen book world, and any ideas that you, the Teen Advisory Board, have for making the library a fun and informative place to be.
