What Does the TAB Do?
The Teen Advisory Board's main goal is to advise the Teen Librarian and make the library a better place for Teens. TAB meets monthly during the school year on weekday afternoons; for the 2023-2024 school year, we'll be meeting on the 2nd Tuesday from 3:00-4:30pm.
We accept new applications for TAB every summer in late August/early September; applications for the 2023-2024 TAB are now closed.
Activities may include:

TEEN MODERATORS
We now have a Teen Moderator category on the Morse Library’s 24/7 Minecraft Server! We're looking for players 13 & up who are patient, like to help others, and enjoy coming up with games and/or projects! We are not currently accepting any Teen Moderator applications.
Minecraft Moderators play on the Morse Library’s 24/7 Minecraft Server and attend weekly gaming sessions when possible. They have access to special commands and use them to help other players in game. Teen Moderators also help Robin with special Minecraft events, such as Tournaments or Minecraft After Hours.
Current commands available:

The Friends of the Morse Institute Library hold 3 big book sales a year and greatly appreciate the help of Teen Volunteers!
Please note:
Thursday afternoon set-up (3:00-7:00 pm):
Their choice of moving boxes of books (already sorted by category) into the sale room or arranging books on tables.
Saturday/Sunday book sale (Sat 8:30-4:30, Sun 12:00-3:00)
Keeping book sale tabletops full of books: bringing out new inventory to the sale room or keeping tabletops full of book inventory from boxes under each table / checking that books on the tables are in the right categories
Sunday pack-up (Sun 3:00-5:00)
Packing leftover inventory into boxes for storage (until next sale) or donation. Really important to pack boxes carefully! (We can give a tutorial.)
