Join the T(w)een Advisory Board

The T(w)een Advisory Board, a group of middle and high school Library ambassadors, meets regularly during the summer to plan and enrich library services to their peers. Their work this year has resulted in sound-dampening ceiling tiles and new seating for the Teen Loft, enhancements to the teen Summer Reading program, social media contributions, and planning events such as our Welcome to Your Teen Loft Party last September. With their passion and commitment, the T(w)een Advisory Board plays a pivotal role in shaping the Teen Loft into a vibrant hub that resonates with the diverse and evolving interests of its patrons. The TAB will meet in June, July, and August this summer – watch for our summer newsletter for more information!.
