Join the Teen Advisory Board!

August?! What happened to the summer? We still have a few weeks left until we go back to school. So, find some time to relax before the REAL WORK starts up again. 

Once school starts I would love for you all to join the Teen Advisory Board, at least once, to see all the fun we have planning events and talking about what is important to you and your community of friends. The new school year will start new conversations and new partnerships. I hope you will lend your voice to the already great group we have. 

I also have some fun new art supplies that some of you have already had fun playing with! Check out the remaining activities scheduled for summer and join us for the Summer Reading closing party on August 12th from 4pm-6pm. We will have cake and ice cream!
