We’re Looking for Teens to Join our Teen Advisory Board!

The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is a great opportunity for teens to get involved in the community and make an impact!


In TAB, you’ll help decide what kind of programs we should hold for teens, give important feedback on the design of the teen spaces, and give your input on the displays and games available for young adults in the library.


TAB is a great way to gain leadership experience and to hone your decision-making skills while earning volunteer hours.

 

We know that everyone has busy schedules. We anticipate a 1-hour TAB meeting each month and will send scheduling polls to find the time that works for the most members.


TAB is open to teens in the Howe Library community in grades 8-12.

 

Please complete this form if you are interested in joining or reach out to Teen Services Librarian, Kim Baker with any questions. 

Programs

Please note that programs may be in-person, online, or hybrid.  Some programs may require advanced registration in order to participate. Our complete program schedule can be found on our website.
