Adult Programs
Ever wanted a say in the way the library buys materials for teens, programs events, what's on our TeenSpace webpage, even how we decorate the Young Adult area? Teens in the 8th Grade and up are invited to attend Teen Advisory meetings. We want your input so much that we're willing to give participants community service credit. Imagine how much credit you can earn if this becomes a monthly event.
