Teen Advisory Board Gets Going
Teen Advisory Board is set to start up again this month, and I’m so excited to begin working with this great group. Last term, TAB members worked on a variety of projects, including decoration of the Teen Study Rooms, creation of many book displays (including Blind Date with a Book – a fav!), a monthly newspaper (The TABloids – check it out!), and a Summer at the Library promotional video. Each term’s board is different, with new ideas and passions. I can’t wait to see what board members do this year!
What is Teen Advisory Board (TAB)?
