Area teens serve on library board

A group of seventh through 12th grade students from area schools aren’t just attending library events  —  they’re planning them.

The Emmet O’Neal Library Teen Advisory Board (TAB) meets monthly with young adult librarian Matt Layne to discuss and plan library programs, make collection development suggestions and serve as ambassadors for the library in their schools and community.

TAB recently planned International Games Day to be held at the library Saturday, Nov. 3 from noon-5 p.m. Teens are invited to play board games, video games, card games and more.

For more information on the Teen Advisory Board, contact Matt Layne at 445-1141.
