History

The South Park Township Public Library Teen Advisory Board (TAB) was established in September 2023. Since its creation, TAB members have played a vital role in shaping teen-focused programs and clubs, designing book displays in the Teen Area, and working on meaningful community service projects.

Purpose

TAB is whatever you want it to be! As a student-led organization, members share ideas, plan teen programs and displays, organize service projects, and more. Meeting attendance counts as volunteer hours, giving teens an opportunity to make a difference while building leadership skills. If you are passionate about making the library a place for teens and advocating for young adult services in the South Park area, we would love you to join!
