National Gaming Day Highlights on Website

If you want to take a look, I've posted some highlights, pictures, and info from our National Gaming Day in November. At our next meeting, we'll be making a poster for the library too, so bring your design tools!

December 6th Meeting - Minutes

Attendance: 5

Requirements for being an active TAB member (meaning you get first dibs on books):

  • Must have a library card with less than $1.00 in fines
  • Must attend 1 meeting per month (unless you notify Stacie beforehand)
  • Must attend 2 activities per year

Volunteers ages 14 &  up are needed at the library. For TAB members, if you volunteer at least 2 hrs/week you get:
  • No fines
  • Up to 2 hrs on the computers each day
Contact Stacie at sfarmer@emcity.org if you'd like to volunteer so we can set up a training session.


Computer Tutoring to start in February. I need volunteers who can come once a month, on a Saturday, for 2 hrs. We will be helping people with basic computer skills such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, email, and internet browsing. 


TAB meetings for January - March (see Upcoming Meetings on right).


Best way to contact people: Everyone said either email or phone calls. I'll be sending out reminder emails about meetings the Thursday before and you should get a reminder call the day before. Those who have been inactive for more than 2 months will not get phone calls.


2012 Utah Teen Video Challenge: Create a 30-90 second video the promotes the idea of using public libraries and reading and includes our interpretation of the  summer reading slogan "Own the Night". 1st place winner receives $275 (great for a summer reading party)! Submissions must be received by March 24th, 2012. We'll talk more about this at our January meeting and whoever may want to do it. For more info visit http://library.utah.gov/programs/youth/teenchallenge.html


Took down Fall decorations & put up Winter ones!


New Teen Blog: If you're here, then you got the memo! Check here for the latest info on TAB stuff, volunteer opportunities, reviews, meetings and events. Michael volunteered to help with posting and design. Starting in January, we'll be doing reviews of a book, music, and movie each month. Sign up at the next meeting on January 3rd.
