Let Your Voice Be Heard!
YOUNG ADULT COUNCIL

Speak Out!
The Grafton Library invites you to join the Young Adult Council (YAC) and volunteer your expertise on what teens need at their public library. 

Young Adult Council membership is open to all Grafton teens, ages 13-18 years old, and will meet once a month to discuss and plan library services and programming for teens.  YAC members will help design the library''s teen web page, give input on which books/magazines/cd's to order for the young adult collection, and help to plan and implement fun programming.  YAC members meet the third Thursday of every month from 4-5p.m.

So get involved, let your voice be heard, and speak up about programs and services for teens at your public library!  If you'd like to join the library's Young Adult Council, please contact Sue at 508-839-4649 or switham@cwmars.org.
