Fondulac District Library is excited to offer a unique opportunity to students of East Peoria Community High School. In January 2015, the library will launch a Teen Advisory Board and is currently looking for student volunteers. Any EPCHS student is welcome to apply, including students who need to fulfill volunteer hours for student groups such as Key Club or National Honors Society or those who simply have a love of the library and would like to do more to participate in the community.
Students interested in joining the Teen Advisory Board must fill out a short application and will be responsible for attending organizational meetings twice a month. Those meetings count toward volunteer hours. Students who join the Teen Advisory Board will participate in activities such as Tech Days, where TAB members will be on hand at the library to help older patrons operate and navigate their handheld electronic devices, and Peer to Peer Homework Help, where TAB members will be available to tutor their peers in the subjects they understand best. FDL also hopes to utilize the TAB to launch a student-produced vlog series, in addition to strengthening our existing social media. It is also planned for TAB members to oversee the existing Teen Space Book Club and work with staff to create programming at FDL that is appealing to them.
