The Teen Advisory Group had their March meeting this past Saturday. Here is what we talked about!
The TAG bulletin board in the hallway looks great, so thanks to Melanie and Catherine for putting that together! The board will stay up for the rest of this week, then I will be redoing it to advertise the Summer Teen Internships available.
The PALS book sale is coming up next month and you might have noticed that they are now taking donations in the hallway. This means they will soon need some volunteers to help in the sorting of the books. This will probably start at the end of this month/beginning of May, I will let you know for sure when I hear.
The library is offering two paid teen internship postions at the library this summer. Full information can be found in the handouts at the desk or on the blog post I did a couple of days ago. Applications are at the desk or can be printed out from the website. I did a webinar about how to get the most out of the teen interns and it was suggested that we have projects for them to work on. The project idea I have so far is for them to do a library 'commercial' and TAG members suggested some sort of art project to beautify the library.
I would like to get more teens coming to Teen Book Club so any ideas for that? TAG members suggested pairing a craft with book club.
Upcoming Programs
