Sacramento Public Library's System-wide Teen Advisory Board (STAB) meets monthly. All teens from Sacramento County are welcome! This is a great opportunity to meet and collaborate with other teens who also want to make a difference, gain useful leadership and project management experience, earn community service credit, and more. We are looking forward to meeting you!

Teens ages 13-17 can attend this one-hour training to qualify as teen volunteers at Sylvan Oaks Library. Participants receive 2 hours of credit for training. Please consider attending our Teen Advisory Board meeting afterward at 2:00 p.m. for another 2 hours of credit (one-hour meeting). Email Bridget for more information at BBagne@saclibrary.org.

Teens ages 13-19 can join us for an afternoon of crafts, artmaking, and meeting other teens! Bring your own project to work on or use free supplies from the library. Crafts will include button & sticker-making, collage, painting, and more! Snacks will be served. No registration is required.

This program was designed by our Teen Advisory Board and funded by our Fair Oaks Friends.

The library will provide the following supplies: yarn, markers, canvases, brushes, watercolor, acrylic paint, color cardstock, scissors, washi tape, markers, colored pencils, coloring sheets, tissue paper and perler beads.

Are you a teen interested in community service credit while meeting other teens and working on fun projects? Teens ages 13-19 will earn 2 hours of volunteer credit by attending this one-hour in-person meeting occurring once a month. Email Bridget at bbagne@saclibrary.org for more information.

Teens, join the library once a month after school to pet and snuggle trained therapy dogs! De-stress with happy dog vibes and fun activities planned by our Teen Advisory Board. This program takes place on the main floor near the Teen Room.

Want to have a say in what the Arden-Dimick Library does for teens? Want to earn volunteer credit for school? Then hang out with us and help us plan programs and events! Bonus: TAB looks AMAZING on college/scholarship applications! Questions? Please use a personal, non-school account to email Lindsey Helfrich at lhelfrich@saclibrary.org for more information.

Join TAB for a summer series + exhibition of What the Future Wants, a project co-developed with young people to explore questions at the core of your digital experience - what is it like to grow up in a digital world? How does it impact you? And in your digital future, what would you like to change and what would you like to protect?

Participants will discuss a particular technology topic during the first hour; during the second hour, help to install a related exhibit in the public areas of the library. In May, join us to talk about “persuasive design,” or what it means to be “addicted” to our technology. 

The goal of each meeting is to create space for new ways of understanding and talking about emerging technology in everyday life. These programs are designed for youth grades 7-12; no registration required! Participation in this program counts towards library community service. Participants are welcome at any number of meetings in the series - no previous attendance or experience studying technology is required to join!
