Library Events

Welcome back! The Teen Library Council is made up of teens age 11-18 who wish to participate in decisions being made for teens in the library. The council meets once a month and discusses possible teen programs, teen recommendations and recommends new books for the YA collection. The council also volunteers in the children's department for events and other tasks the department needs help with. Registration is required.
