Want to earn volunteer hours? The Teen Advisory Board volunteers meet twice a month to brainstorm and prep teen programs, help with events, write book reviews, and provide feedback about the library. Aside from making new friends, joining TAB can also build teens’ resumes and portfolios. If you would like to apply for TAB, you need to fill out a volunteer application here.
Note: The Teen Advisory Board is only open to 14-18-year-old teens.
The Hangout Zone is the best place to chat, read a book, play board games, do a puzzle, and just relax in the Library. We've got tables, chairs, and computers available for whatever you need.
Search online databases and learn at your own pace.
