The Library offers young adults an opportunity to take an active role in developing the Young Adult collection and activities at the Library. The Teen Advisory Board is a group of young adults willing to become involved in the functioning of the library to make the library more appealing for their peers. Board members may be any student in grades 6-12 who obtains parental permission and holds a library card. Siblings are not allowed. Applicants serve for one year. The Board’s advisor will set a meeting schedule based on the most convenient time for its members. Becoming involved as a board member not only allows teens to serve the community, which enhances college applications and resumes, it also gives them an opportunity to meet new people and have fun.

Programs are offered throughout the year that appeal to the special interests of young adults.

For eight weeks during the summer, reading is celebrated with the annual Summer Reading Club, The Reading Train. Young Adults ages 12-17 may participate.

The Young Adult’s Information Desk number is 901-457-2601.
