  • Library Facebook page:  TAB was very vocal about wanting a separate library Facebook page just for teens because:
    • It’s awkward going on the normal one with adults – they don’t feel like commenting
    • They would use it more
    • They’d invite their friends to use it & would invite friends to library programs from the Facebook page
    • They’re more likely to go to a teen Facebook page than the Teen blog
    • It’s lots more relaxing to comment when it’s just teens
    • TAB will revolt if they don’t get one :)
    • Use it to advertise programs, discuss teen topics, post videos, create and post vodcasts, polls, link to book trailers, link eCat
  • Any other business?
  • Talked about doing a program at the assisted living centers where they’d show seniors how to use technology (iPods, digital cameras, etc.) Tom, Brandon, and Becca all expressed interest.
Next meeting – May 17 Seniors party! There will be food.

*May 17 will also be an open meeting. Bring friends or anyone you know that may be interested in joining TAB.
