Do you want to give back to your community? Are you interested in shaping experiences at the Canton Public Library?
The Teen Leadership Council is a group of young people who want to take a more active role in our library community. TLC makes book and informational displays, provides feedback on the direction of the Teen Space within the library, and even gets the chance to design and lead special programs.
Last year TLC organized a winter supplies drive with PBJ Outreach, led a DIY Family Affirmation Box program, created Teen Space character Bubbles the Cat, contributed content to the CPL website, designed a Cookies & Characters program for 62 Days of Summer, and so much more. If you would like the chance to become a leader in the CPL community, fill out an application to join us for our 2023-2024 season.
Teens ages 14-18 can fill out an application for the Teen Leadership Council and return it to the Check Out Desk by Sunday, September 24, 2023. If selected, a parent or legal guardian must fill out the Minor Volunteer Release and Waiver of Liability.
