Your opinion matters! If you’re in grade 6 through 12, then you have a chance to make a difference at your library by joining the Teen Advisory Board (TAB). During the school year, we will meet once a month at 3:30 PM to share ideas about upcoming programs and discuss how we can make the most out of the library’s services for tweens and teens. This is an opportunity to practice leadership, collaboration, and civic engagement and to take an active role in shaping the library’s impact on your community. Becoming a member of the board requires a commitment to attend meetings regularly.

For more information, call Adult Services at the library at (508) 336-8230 or email teens@seekonkpl.org. 


Zines Workshop for Teens
Thursday, March 19 at 3:00 PM
Artists, cartoonists, animators, writers, poets, debaters, philosophers, Thinkers of Thoughts…anyone with anything to say, this workshop is for you! Learn to make zines--handmade publications that come in an infinite number of formats and topics, made by anyone who is passionate enough about their subject to put it out into the world. Long before the invention of the internet, people spread their ideas by simply putting them on paper and distributing them by hand. So you could say that zines are an early form of social media. All you have to do is get your work on paper and then reproduce it using the ancient forbear of modern-day “share” buttons…the Xerox machine.

This 1-hour event is free and open to tweens and teens in grades 6 through 12. Please register online at www.seekonkpl.org/events.

Make Your Own Pin-Back Buttons
Thursday, March 26 at 3:00 PM
Making pin-back buttons is quick and easy, and a fun way to personalize your bag, jacket, bulletin board, etc. Personalized buttons are also great for trading with friends or giving out as small gifts. Join us for this program and learn how to use a button machine to create your own 1-inch or 2 ¼-inch buttons. We’ll provide old magazines to cut images from, or you can create your own designs by hand. You’ll be able to take your buttons home or trade with other participants at the event.

This 1-hour event is free and open to grades 6 through 12. Please register online at www.seekonkpl.org/events.
