Mukilteo Library Teen Advisory Board
Before the pandemic, the Mukilteo Library had a thriving Teen Advisory Board (TAB) that helped Melleny Thomasson, Teen Services Librarian, plan teen programs, create library displays, complete service projects, and so much more.
TAB is starting up again at the Mukilteo Library and we are looking for a diverse group of awesome teens!
Many of the decisions about how TAB is run will be decided by those who join, but here’s what we know so far:
- TAB will meet on the first Thursday of each month at 4:00-5:30pm, starting on March 2nd. Snacks are always provided!
- All meetings take place in the Mukilteo Library meeting room, which is located off the lobby (on your right as you enter the library).
- TAB is open to anyone in grades 6 through 12 who can regularly attend the meetings.
- There is an application to fill out, and it has more details about what TAB does.
Reply to this e-mail or e-mail Melleny Thomasson, Teen Services Librarian, MUK Library to receive the application. MThomasson@sno-isle.org
