If you want to boss the library around, are a superstar event planner, have stellar skills for finding books, comics, dvds & more that teens will love that we can fill our shelves with, AND want free pizza - we want you! The YAC is a group of teens aged 13-18 who tell us at the library how we're doing as well as plan our monthly teen events.

Usually in December we have a bit of snow with our YAC meeting - so make sure you wear warm socks and boots! This month we'll be throwing around ideas (mostly on paper, some on cardboard if we're adventurous) for ideas for our 2020 teen events. Have a great idea for what you want to see happening at your local library for teens? Come let us know!

Free pizza donated is by Domino's Pizza for every YAC meeting.
