Join the Teen Advisory Committee (TAC): Lead, Serve, and Create!

Want to make your voice heard and help shape what happens at your library? The Stratford Branch Library is looking for motivated teens to join the Teen Advisory Committee (TAC)—a team of young leaders who help connect local youth with the library and the wider community.

As a TAC member, you won’t just attend meetings—you’ll help plan programs, influence decisions, and create a better space for teens through service, advocacy, and leadership.

The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) meets every other Monday at 4:30 PM to form ideas in regards to library programming. This means teens get to voice their creativity while gaining community service hours. TAB is a social group, so feel free to bring your friends and join us anytime! 


This special meeting will go over the benefits of joining TAB, and will include a team-bonding activity to get started.
