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.

Teens who are involved in TAG take on special projects for the library including organizing the TAG booksale, creating and presenting programs, writing reviews for books, music and dvd’s, and volunteering at library events.

At the monthly meetings, members discuss books they’ve read, evaluate current programs they have attended, review books/cds/movies that the library has purchased, and discuss program ideas for the next Teen newsletter.

There are currently 25-30 active members of TAG.

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
