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 this 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 next TAB meeting, an informal hangout light on planning and heavy on catching up and brainstorming will be held on Monday, January 6, 2025 at 4 p.m.


Middle and high school students, show your Library card to the staff at the Loft desk to earn a small prize!
