Setting up and breaking down teen events can be a lot of work. The Teen Advisory Board has been a huge help. At each event they have helped carry tables from the Library to the lawn, wiped down tables, fetched materials Stacey forgot to bring out, and so much more. The Library appreciates all you do; thank you TAB! |
