New officer announcements (see agenda from 4/19)
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.
