Teen Advisory Board

What is Teen Advisory Board?

Teen Advisory Board (or T.A.B.) consists of local teens in 7th -12th grade in the Alpha Park Public Library District who want to build a teen space in the library. These individuals will be asked to give their input on teen programs, books, and the design of the teen space.

T.A.B. members become lifelong leaders, build strong connections, volunteer, and make a difference in their community. Please join us at our next meeting and see if becoming a member of the Teen Advisory Board is for you!
