Teen Advisory Board
Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is a group of teens who participate in and influence the functioning of the library, focusing on teen programs and the Young Adult library collection. TAB provides a forum to have opinions and suggestions for the library heard.
Our teens create the ideas for the teen programming as well as help make them happen. From creating the social media flyers to planning and running them, the teens work to make the teen library events what they collectively want them to be!
Participation in TAB can also be a great opportunity for teens to complete their volunteer/service hours!
Visit RJCL for more information and to start participating!
