TAG Lock-In 2011 B

About TAG

Boone County Public Library’s TAG [Teen Advisory Group] was formed in 2005 to provide teens with an opportunity to participate in the decision making process for teen programs and services.

TAG is for teens in grades 9-12 and meets on the 1st Tuesday of each month, at 6:30 p.m., at the Main Library.

Teens who are involved in TAG take on special projects for the library including:

  • organizing service projects in the community
  • creating and planning fun library programs
  • reviewing new books, movies, and music for the library collection

Did we also mention the free pizza at each meeting? Need another reason to join TAG? Member-only events like the all-night library lock-in!

There are currently 20-30 active members of TAG from high schools and homeschool co-ops across Northern Kentucky.

TAG’s Mission Statement

The Teen Advisory Group provides insight and advice to the Boone County Public Library concerning the interests of teens, ways to provide respectful service to teens, and the feelings of teens toward the library and its services.  TAG works to promote teamwork, leadership skills, and literacy for the teen population in Boone County.

Membership

TAG meetings are open to all high-school age teens, in grades 9-12. The Teen Advisory Group offers opportunities for teens to develop teamwork skills and take on leadership roles within their community. Teens that attend three TAG meetings and are interested in becoming an official member will need to complete a membership form as well as a code of conduct statement.

Code of Conduct for TAG Members

  3. All members in TAG will make a genuine effort to make each meeting productive.

But I’m in middle school and want to join TAG! — Try MAC!

MAC (Middle school Advisory Committee) is the place for middle schoolers to voice their opinions about the library.  You get to recommend purchases, and help create and plan programs.  This group offers an opportunity to earn volunteer hours, and is a great place to have fun.  Oh, and you get to throw paper at the librarian who coordinates your ideas.  Please join us on the first Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m.

Got questions about:

  • MAC? Send them to Pamela at the Lents branch
  • TAG? Send them to Krista at the Main Library
