Hey YAs,
The Teen Advisory Group met today for our May meeting. Here's what we talked about.
The library's annual booksale is coming up on Saturday, May 18th and we could really use some help sorting books. Please let Miss Gardiner know if you are available at any time to help with the sorting and setting up.
Registration to be a Summer Volunteen will start on May 28th (the Tuesday after Memorial Day). Orientation this year will be mandatory because everyone will need training for the online book tracking system. There will be two orientation/training session in late June just before the Summer Reading Program starts. We discussed ideas for other tasks the teens working at the SR desk could be doing, since the desk will probably be less busy this year. We discussed doing more promotion about the program and any special events we are doing, writing bookshelf book reviews to put out in the library, and possibly making the desk also the technology help desk where patrons could get assistance with downloading ebooks.
Here are this year's teen raffle prizes for the Summer Reading Program:
Week 1: two $10 Dari Serv gift certificates
Week 2: two movies passes
Week 3: Two snack baskets (we discussed what everyone would like there to be in these baskets and agreed that it should be a mix of sweet and savory, not just candy. Also that the Coke that comes in glass bottles is awesome)
Week 4: 1-Day pass to Lake Compounce
Week 5: Kindle
Week 6: Everyone gets a book of their choice
We also discussed decoration ideas to go along with the summer's theme (underwater and underground). Miss Gardiner wanted a blow up shark, but no one else seemed enthusiastic! The summer volunteens will also be doing a large sidewalk chalk mural to kick off the program. Decorating the YA room will be Saturday, June 22nd after the orientation/training session and the sidewalk chalk mural will be the morning of July 1st.
Next we reviewed the upcoming teen programs:
Then we moved on to the suggestions and recommendations portion of our meeting.
