We are adding a few new members to our Teen Library Council this Fall. If you like the library, enjoy reading or planning programs for others, and would like to give back to the community, Teen Council might be the perfect activity for you.
Due to Covid and the closure of our physical building, we had to postpone our recruitment in the Spring. We are now opening our application process for the teen council through October 14. We are looking for 4 new members (2 middle and 2 high school students) who will join us starting in November. Zoom interviews will be conducted in late October.
