WHAT IS TAB?

The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is a volunteer group engaged in library programming. Our mission is to empower teens through the creation, promotion and implementation of events at the High Meadows Branch Library.

Participation in TAB counts as service hours for any honor, scholar, or religious organization. Meetings are held on the fourth Monday of each month.

See you there!
