The Teen Library Leadership Council is a group of 7-12th graders looking to improve the experience of teens at the library by advising on library policies, inspiring creative library enrichment events, and engaging in our shared values of community and personal growth.

The LLC strives to promote a close-knit community and a network of teens in both middle school and high school. We encourage inclusive collaboration within our council as well as through our outreach to library patrons outside of the LLC. As a group, we love to bring new activities and experiences to our community by holding various events for library patrons of all ages.  We aim to foster growth and encourage responsibility among the young adults in our community, and through the library, help our fellow teens thrive!  

The LLC meets 1-2 times a month. Our meetings are on Wednesdays from 5-6 PM. All meetings are in-person unless otherwise noted. Our fall meetings will be held on 9/27 (virtual), 10/11, 10/25, 11/8, 12/13. We occasionally meet for additional meetings on other Wednesdays at 5PM, as needed.  

This fall, the LLC will be hosting a Smash Bros. Tournament on 10/12 at 4PM in the Teen Room and an Open Mic Night on 11/9 at 6:30PM in the Large Meeting Room. Details for both events can be found on the library's Event Calendar.
