Teen Advisory Board – Tuesday, May 17th at 4p

Have you ever thought, “I wish the Library would…?”

This is your chance to turn those ellipses into a reality. The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is where teens can express their opinions, make friends and connect with the community. Teens select programs, help decorate their space, lead programs (optional), record book reviews and more. Best of all, teens who team up with TAB can use this time for community service hours! Food, friends and a chance to impact the world around you. How can you say no?!

The board meets monthly and teens are asked to attend most meeting. Contact Ms. Becky at [email protected] or 401-847-8720 x206 with questions.

This month, we’ll be brainstorming button ideas and decorating for summer reading.
