Mission
The Youth Advisory Board is Findlay-Hancock County Public Library's volunteer group for teens in grades 7 through 12. YAB strives to involve teens in their library and their library space. YAB allows teens the opportunity to gain work experience by learning and completing tasks that they are trained for and feel comfortable doing. YAB helps to make sure the lbirary is providing quality resources for both reading for pleasure and for help with research and homework assignments for students in grades 7 - 12.
Becoming a Member
To become a member, this application is submitted to the Youth Services desk and the current board members and the Advisor determine if the applicant would make a good fit with the current group, would be able to meet the expectations, and if they would have the time to dedicate 3 hours per month to be a part of the YAB group. The Advisor also looks at how many current members we have from the applicant's particular school. The Youth Advisory Board likes to have members from a variety of local schools, including online and homeschools. The Youth Advisory Board may have up to 30 members at a time. For questions, please contact Carah Alvarez, Teen Services Specialist at calvarez@findlaylibrary.org or 419-434-1486.
