Teen Advisory Board Testimonials
“I have always been an avid library member ever since I was little, and I remember seeing posters for the Teen Advisory Board. I always thought it was such a cool idea, like being a VIP library member, and signed up immediately when I was old enough. As I have discovered during my tenure so far as a TAB member, it really is like being a VIP library member. I got to help out with arts and crafts stations, get to know the librarians, and even see behind-the-scenes library locations. If you are the type to beg your parents to go to the library, consider joining TAB to level up your library status.“
- Raya, TAB Member
"Being a part of TAB has really helped me feel connected to my library and to other teens. I used to have trouble finding people who were just as passionate about the library as I was, but this group helped me form connections and feel like I was a part of something greater. I found the interactions and volunteer opportunities to be perfect for my skills and growing mind. Since I am moving on to college, I can no longer be a part of TAB; however, I will continue to do my best to help communities like TAB function and expand. I am very grateful to have been a part of TAB for two years."
-Kyla H.
“TAB is a great safe space to allow your creativity to go wild. Your opinions and ideas will never go unheard and everyone is always so supportive. Not only that, but the workload is very flexible based on your interests and time availability. If you want to become more involved within the community and to have a great time with a diverse board, TAB is a great place.”
- Susan T.
"I enjoyed being a part of TAB last year as it made me feel included since there are a lot of friendly and supportive people on the team!”
