Ever wondered how to get more involved with your community? Ever wondered how the library could be even better for teens? Ever wondered how to get service hours in one of the literal easiest ways possible? ENTER: THE LINEBAUGH TEEN ADVISORY BOARD (or TAB).
You can think of TAB like a “student council” for the public library. Interested teens aged 12-18 can meet with us every first Saturday of the month from 3-4:30pm to discuss ways to make the library even better…for teens!
We plan events, curate a monthly book display, and are in the process of redesigning our teen lounge. Want to help out? Fill out this form below, and we’ll give you all the info! The best part? If you attend TAB meetings, you can earn up to 18 volunteer service hours per year just by showing up, chatting with us, and helping us out.

Plus: snacks. Need I say more. You can sign up here to tell us what you’d be down to help us with and to learn more about TAB: https://forms.gle/Bom6oHzQ2mtLjrvg6. We’ll do our best to get back to you with 48 hours of your submission!
If you have any other questions in the meantime, please feel free to email Taylor at tdavis@rclstn.org and/or Ollie at omiller@rclstn.org.
