TEEN
FRIENDS OF THE TEMPE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Who are
the “Teen Friends”?
Teen
Friends can be found hanging around the Tempe Public Library after
school, evenings, weekends, and
anytime during the summer.
They come in
various ages, shapes, sizes and colors with a variety of different
interests and talents, but they have one thing in common - - they give
back to the community in their own way. |

What do
Teen Friends do?
They help plan and
organize programs at the library for the teen community; help raise money to
support a popular music collection; recommend titles for the teen book
collection; assist with the planning and creation of a special “Teen Space” in
the library; write articles for, or help edit, the TFs newsletter; help create
and maintain the TFs website; volunteer in various areas of the library.
As a member of the Teen
Friends you can attend TF meetings, and/or choose to volunteer in any number of
ways.
If you’d like to become
more involved, you can join, or start, a committee that interests you, or run
for a Board Member position during the annual elections in September.
After serving on the Board you are then eligible to run for office.
These are just some
ideas - What are YOUR interests? What would YOU like to do? YOU choose how
YOU would like to be involved!
