It's a great day to support your local library!
The ONL Teen Advisory Board (TAB) consists of students in grades 7-12 who meet at the library on the first Monday or Tuesday of the month at 4:30PM. Teens meet to improve the O'Neal Library by providing feedback to the librarians or participating in a service activity.
TAB member benefits include priority notification of volunteer opportunities, special team-building events, summer internship opportunities, free food, and more! Complete the application below to become a member.
If you have any questions, email our young adult librarian Michelle Cheng at teens@oneallibrary.org. The next Teen Advisory Board meeting is scheduled on Monday, September 8 at 4:30-6:00. CLICK HERE for the agenda.

Applicants for short-term volunteer opportunities MUST meet the minimum criteria listed above in yellow. The maximum number of hours O'Neal Library can schedule a teen volunteer is 2 (TWO) hours/day, so please adjust your schedule to match. The earlier you request a project, the better! We may reject end-of-semester or end-of-school-year if the demand of service hours exceeds the number of projects remaining.
