Teen Advisory Board

 

The Library's Teen Advisory Board (T.A.B.) consists of students in grades 9 through 12.  The program is held from September to May of the school year.  TAB members will have the opportunity to help plan, promote, and be a part of our teen programs.  Participation in this program will help teens plugin and make an impact in their community.  TAB members will also receive volunteer hours which can be used on future college/job applications.
