Teen Advisory Board

Loveland Public Library’s Teen Advisory Board (or TAB) is for local middle + high school students who are interested in making a difference at their library. TAB members play a crucial role in:

• Planning + marketing teen events
• Developing the library’s young adult collection
• Creating a welcoming + safe environment for other teens at the library

TAB membership is a commitment of time. TAB meetings are once a month for one hour.

Members will earn volunteer service credit, have a direct impact on the Teen Hangout at the library.

Important Dates and Events

In the past TAB members have had the opportunity to attend exciting events like the Teen Lit Conference and plan programs for teens in the Hangout.  While this year’s TAB membership will look wildly different, we think it is important to create a space to engage with one another and advocate for the library – even if that is virtually!
