Meeting 8/14

In attendance: Mrs. Johnson, Kaitlin Meiss, Lili Henderson, Lana Henderson, Emma Vitacco, and Rachel Walker

Bookies/Teen Volunteer Appreciation/ Mockingjay release new date and time, August 23 from 10 P.M. to midnight. 

Harvard Pilgrim and a Sandwich patron have given Sandwich Public Library a $500 non-restrictive grant to use on teen programming. TAG members should definitely be apart of planning. Ideas were welcomed. One idea was speaking with an author.

Mrs. Johnson solicited input on fall/winter program ideas, particularly Teen Reads Week in October. This year’s theme is Books with Beat. A list of books was brainstormed from fiction to biologies to famous musicians. Programming brainstorming began. The most popular was a Beat Night, Band slam, or open mic night. Many SHS bands could be used. The YALSA website is a great source of ideas too. 

Encouraging new members, especially guys, is an ongoing effort.

The next meetings were set for 3 P.M. on September 11, October 30, November 20, and December 18. On September 11, the meeting will focus on planning teen read week. 

Bring your ideas!
