YA Crew Open Game Day

Tuesday September 10 at 3:00 PM

Teen Tuesdays return with a free, fun-filled game day! Join fellow teens for board and group games and to learn more about the YA Crew, your perfect opportunity to gain leadership experience and community service hours. Enjoy snacks and meet new friends at this fun event! Open to teens in grades 6-12 (ages 12-18). Call 330-343-6123 to register.

The YA Crew is a group of local teens who gain leadership experience and community service hours by helping the library better serve the teen community. Members help plan events, offer input for the teen collection, volunteer at Children's programs, and give their opinions on teen-related issues. Snacks are always provided, and new members are always welcome. Feel free to contact Teen Librarian Liz Strauss (strausel@doverlibrary.org) for more information on becoming a full member of the YA Crew. Open to teens in grades 6-12 (ages 12-18). 

Contact Liz at strausel@doverlibrary.org or view the YA Crew page on this blog for more information on the YA Crew.
