TAG

Attend Teen Action Group (TAG) to have a say in the library's collection, help plan new programs and events, and participate in creative activities. At our monthly TAG meetings you will take an active part in our ongoing conversation about where the Library's Teen Services are going and how we can improve. Brainstorm, critique, and comment: it's your voice that counts at TAG. Check the Teens web page for dates and times. For grades 7-12. Snacks!
