Teen Library Advisors
Our Teen Library Advisors (TLAs) continue to carry out their roles even though we have returned to remote learning. Most recently, they have helped by writing book reviews, signing up to be eBook Mentors, and helping us to choose new books to purchase for the library. We are looking forward to being able to see them in the library again when they can take on even more responsibility in their areas of expertise.
We're also looking forward to giving our new TLAs their badges and congratulating them on their hard work so far this year.
In the meantime, we keep up via regular video meetings and chats on Google Hangouts.
