Teen Advisory Board is the pulse of the teen community at the library. TAB members’ positive thoughts and ideas are heavily relied upon to create appropriate and engaging programs for teens. TAB members might be asked to weigh in on any topic that relates to library service for teens. Teens receive volunteer time for participating in monthly meetings. Each month volunteers choose to work on projects with the Events Committee or the Social Media Committee during the TAB meeting. Volunteers must be enrolled in grades 6-12.

Tidying Teens (Grades 6-12)

Tidying Teens volunteers help keep the library tidy, which may include dusting shelves, straightening books, notifying staff of problem areas, and other tasks. Volunteers do not shelve books. This volunteer assignment is open to grades 6-12. After training, volunteers schedule themselves for open shifts using the volunteer portal.
