WHO
ARE WE?
The Teen Advisory Board is a group of teens,
ages 12-17, from the City of Westminster and surrounding communities
served by the Westminster Public Library who are interested in having
a say in what the library does for them.
WHAT DO WE DO?
The Teen Advisory Board's goal is to promote
library services to teens at both College Hill Library and Irving
Street Library by:
- Advising, planning and implementing teen programs.
- Writing articles, reviews and creative works
for the Teen Underground newsletter.
- Designing and maintaining the Teen Web Site.
- Promoting ideas, reading, programming and expression
by and for teens by creating bulletin boards and displays in the
young adult area.
- Recommending books, movies, music CDs and magazines
for the YA collection.
- Creating an inviting teen area in the library.
WHAT WILL I GET OUT OF
IT?
- Having a say in materials & programs for
teens at Westminster Public Library.
- Personal satisfaction in serving your community
and peers.
- Something interesting and fun to do!
- Opportunity to meet new people.
- Community service looks good on college applications
and job applications.
HOW MUCH TIME COMMITMENT
IS REQUIRED?
- TAB meets once a month on Saturday afternoon
rotating between College Hill Library and Irving Street Library.
- TAB maintains an online Internet Board site
to post reviews and discuss ideas and projects on an ongoing basis.
- Additional hours as requested for newsletter
or special programs and projects.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
- Fill out the Westminster Public Library's Teen
Advisory Board application and return it to the Children's
Desk at either Irving Street or College Hill Library.
- The TAB advisor will contact you.
If you have any questions about the program
or application, feel free to call or email Teen Librarian Hollie
