Teen Advisory Board
Teens – want to volunteer at the Library? Here’s how!
We are excited to reinstate the Teen Advisory Board (TAB)!
Scroll below to see TAB updates and how you can get involved! We are looking for Teens to join the TAB and volunteer at the library in a variety of ways. They include the Kickoff Color Carnival on June 7, STEM programs, Art programs, Nature programs, planning Young Adult events, Wicked/Wizard of Oz event July 12, craft prep, social media, book reviews, and more!
Next meeting: Saturday, June 28 at 11 am.
Thank you to everyone who has signed up and helped at events so far this month! Please keep signing up via Sign Up Genius (button below) to volunteer throughout the summer. Please note that I am modifying the events slightly to include set-up & clean up time. For 10 am programs, please come at 9:45 and 2 pm events, please arrive at 1:45.
Regarding the dress code — When you are volunteering, feel free to wear a tie-dye shirt we made or one of your own. Shorts or pants should be intact (no holes or ripped) and shirts should cover the entire torso (Sleeveless is ok, but please no spaghetti straps, strapless or crop top shirts.). Thank you!
June 7: Thank you so much to everyone who helped make the Color Carnival a success! We had over 140 people there, including 13 members of the Teen Advisory Board. TAB members helped with greeting, games, art, face painting, snacks, and generally making themselves useful. This was a big undertaking and we are very grateful to all your efforts! Thank you again!
We have a Glinda / Wizard of Oz / Wicked event coming up July 12 and an end-of-the-summer program August 9. Input and volunteers are welcome for those and other events!
May 31: Carnival prep continued with the painting of cornhole boxes and photo booths and some more planning for the event!
May 17: We prepped for the carnival by walking the space and testing some of the activities and also cut boxes into cornhole games. We finished with snacks and tie-dying.
The shirts look great! Thank you to everyone who made their own and extras for other volunteers. This will be the “uniform” for the Carnival on June 7, from 12 – 3 and for other volunteer events. We are still looking for teens to help with games, art activities, face painting, and more! Visit the Sign Up Genius site (button below) to pick tasks.
May 3: 1st meeting. We talked about the role of the Board and jumped right into planning some activities.
If you would like to participate, please first register for the board here and then go into Sign Up Genius to pick volunteer opportunities all summer long.
