Through program planning, resource selection (such as book, manga/graphic novel, and video game recommendations), and advocating for teen needs, TAB members develop leadership skills, connect with like-minded individuals, and make a real impact on their community. This collaborative group fosters a dynamic and engaging library environment that caters to the interests and aspirations of young adults.
