The Peninsula Teen Activity Council (PTAC) is a group of teens (age 14-18) who work together to make the library more teen-friendly.
We meet monthly to discuss teen programs at the library such as Teen Read Week, the Teen Summer Reading Program, Homework Helpers, Movie Nights, and more. We also advise the High School Services Librarian on what new books and magazines to buy for the Young Adult section of the library.
PTAC also helps with monthly Kids’ Crafts and other fun programs during the school year for kids in Preschool – Grade 3.
Feel free to drop by, share ideas, and tell us what you, as a teen, want from the library. These are our first steps toward making the library fit your needs.
Want to contribute to your community, meet new people, and earn volunteer service hours? Join PTAC!
Questions? Call the librarian at 377-9584 ext. 240 or email her at lbeebe@pvld.org. Be sure to fill out the volunteer form and bring it in to the Peninsula Center Library if you’re interested in joining PTAC.
