TAB members earn community service hours just by attending meetings and offering their thoughts and opinions.

The Friends of the Library provide free snacks and drinks, so come hungry and be ready to have your voice heard! We usually have fun activities following the meetings (like art contests, talent shows, gaming nights etc.). TAB is for grades 6 - 12.
