Teen Advisory Group - April Meeting notes

Hey YAs, The TAG met on Saturday.  Here's what we talked about!

The book sale is coming up on May 18th and volunteers are always helpful.  We passed around a sheet for

anyone who would like to volunteer to write their name on.  Also if you have books that you would like to donate, the cart is in the library's front hall for them.

Book tracking for summer reading this year will be done online and Miss G is looking for some people to test out the new program.  Anyone who is interested in being a tester should let Miss G know and she will email you the link when she is ready for people to start testing it out!
