Camden County Library Teen Zone

TAB Meeting today at 4!

We are having our first ever (!!!) Teen Advisory Board (TAB) Meeting today at 4 at the Vogelson Branch (across the street from the Echelon Mall) of the Camden County Library System!  We will be meeting on the 3rd floor in Meeting Room A.  Refreshments will be served and I also have a small giveaway for one lucky TAB member.

What is TAB??

TAB is made up of teens and tweens who want to make a difference in their local library. Plan and promote exciting new programs, participate in special community service projects, and discuss movies, books, music, and websites. Membership looks great on resumes and college applications! Plus, it's a great way to get involved and make a difference. Refreshments are served at every meeting!
