Teen Advisory Group - January Meeting

Happy Monday YAs! This past Saturday, the TAG met for our monthly meeting.  Here's what we talked about~

We started out talking about the decorations for the YA room and decided that we would cut out snowflakes as our winter decorations. 

At the last meeting we had mentioned the idea of having the TAG write the story/script for the Murder Mystery in the Library.  (happening in April)  Everyone seemed very enthusiastic about it and we decided that would meet to brainstorm about it on Saturday, February 16th at 3:00.  Anyone else would like to help out is welcome to attend.

Next we discussed the ened for some tech savvy teens to help out at the library assisting patrons with their ereader devices, like Kindle, Nook, and iDevices.  We had several teens who expressed interest in helping out.

Then we discussed the upcoming programs:

• Teen Knitting Club - Tuesday, Jan. 15th 7:00-8:00pm
