Teen Advisory Board

What is the TAB ?

The teen advisory board, or TAB, is made up of teens ages 13 to 18 years old who are interested in having input in the programs, services, books, and magazines that the Rapides Parish Library offers. Simply put it's you telling us how to best serve you.

Being a member of TAB allows you to help determine the direction the Library will take in serving the teen community of Rapides Parish. If you feel strongly about what the library should be doing to serve teens, this is your chance to be heard!

Oh yeah, and along the way we do lots of fun and crazy stuff.

How do I join TAB?

It's free and easy! Just fill out a form telling us about yourself and why you want to join. You'll become a part of a valuable team! You can pick up a TAB form at the Rapides Parish Main Library in Alexandria, or any of the branches, or you can fill out an application online. You can even show up at a TAB meeting and fill one out then. Call the Assistant Reference Manager Faith Johnson, for more information about joining.

When and where does TAB meet?

We generally meet the second Thursday of every month at the Main Library in Alexandria. We start at 6:00 P.M. and end around 7:30 P.M.

What type of activities does TAB do?

Here is a partial list of what we have done in the past:

• Helped with the Summer Reading Program
• Mystery Party
• Halloween Costume Party
• Decorated library float and marched in parades
• Learned African dance and music (including belly dancing!)
• Went on a shopping trip for library books
• Henna Tattoos
• Face painting and concessions at Tales Along the Bayou.
