Are you between the ages of 12 and 18? Looking to have a say in what happens at your public library? Hoping to earn some community service or volunteer hours. Well, look no further than Ames Free Library's Teen Advisory Board (or TAB)! TAB is a place for teens who want to be leaders in their community to make a difference at the library.     Complete service activities if the library is in need!     Have fun with local teens!     Discuss new things you'd like to see at the library! You can earn one service/volunteer hour for attending meetings when we complete activities that help the library. We meet at 3:00 PM on the first Thursday of each month in the Teen Den! Email [email protected] to learn more. We hope to see you at our next TAB meeting! https://amesfreelibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/teen-advisory-board-11/
