Teens Impact the Garden City Library

As a teen, I wanted to make a difference whether in my school, in my community, or in my family. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to work with some great young adults while working at the Garden City Library. Though I am often facilitating the teen activities, I think of these teens as my friends. We share a lot of common interests and I have been impacted by their presence in my life.

I am so excited to help teens have a voice in the Garden City Library. This is where YAAC comes in. YAAC stands for Young Adult Advisory Council and is a group of teenagers that meets the third Tuesday of every month at 4:00 pm in the Teen Scene of the library. This is their time to express the type of literature, music, movies, and programs that they would like to see at GCPL.

If you who do not live near the Garden City Library, think about approaching your local library about having an advisory council for teens. If you are interested in influencing the Garden City Library and want to become part of our YAAC, drop by on February 17th at 4:00 pm for some snacks and a time to make your voice heard.
