Looking for something to do this Tuesday night?
Want to have a say in what’s going on at the library?
Come join us at our monthly Teen Volunteer Council meeting!
If you’ve never been to one of the meetings before, we talk about volunteer opportunities within the library and get your feedback on programs, events, and books you would like to see at the library.
We would love to see you there!
The following programs are going on at the Fairmount Branch Library through December:
Also, be sure to check out our newest regular teen program called ‘Sew What?‘ which will be held on Saturdays at the Eastern Ave. Branch at 2:00 p.m. this September – November. It’s the fun new program for tweens that want to learn how to sew or pick up a new hobby. This is the perfect opportunity for those ages 8-13 to learn all kinds of needlecraft. From sewing and stitching to embroidery and more, learn a new skill and have fun. FREE! (Registration is required for the Sew What? program. Call 563-326-7832 to register!)
Stay tuned! Tomorrow we’ll post info on our upcoming special events for tweens & teens…
Tomorrow night is Teen Volunteer Council at the Fairmount St. Library from 5:30-7:30. The council didn’t meet last month due to the awesome Anti-Valentine’s Day party we had, sooooooo we have some catching up to do.
We also have a little surprise for our volunteers. Want a hint? It’s time to practice your victory dance…
The first Teen Volunteer Council Meeting of 2011 is tomorrow night.
Wait. Would that be 1/11/11??? Ooooh, we’re going to have to celebrate.
The party, ahem, I mean MEETING starts at 5:30 at the Fairmount St. Library. Show up. Lend a hand. TVC needs you! Plus, I heard a rumor that volunteering looks good on resumes and college applications.
I also heard a rumor that the aforementioned rumor is true…
The last Teen Volunteer Council Meeting of the season is tomorrow night! We hope you can make it to the Fairmount St. Library from 5:30-7:30 for all the fun. This meeting will be a good mix of volunteer opportunities, teen program input, suggestions for the collection, and OF COURSE some friendly Apples to Apples. Do you know which Apples to Apples card trumps all at our programs? heehee Stop by and find out.
And just so you know, the Teen Volunteer Council meetings will start back up again in September. See you tomorrow!
ps–Oh my goodness…I just realized we haven’t posted in weeks. Huh. Guess we’ll call that a vacation…wheeeeeeee!
Are you bored?
How bored?
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
You should come to the Teen Volunteer Council meeting on Tuesday night at the Fairmount St. Library. It starts at 5:30, so call a friend and make plans now. I guarantee you will have a good time. Guarantee it. How can I guarantee such a thing? Well, for starters we’re not going to play RockPaperScissors.
But, we are going to play NinjaPirateGorilla.
Join us!
And if you’re trying to talk your parents into letting you attend tell them this: The Library’s Teen Volunteer Council is composed of students in grades six through twelve, who help support the Library through fund-raising, programming, and special events. Participation on the Teen Volunteer Council encourages young adults to become involved in planning library activities of interest to them and to inspire an interest in reading for all area youth. Through involvement with the Council, you will gain valuable experiences that will be useful to you now and in the future. Plus, being a member of the Davenport Public Library’s Teen Volunteer Council looks great on resumes and college applications.
And I don’t wanna forget to mention this tidbit…We also play video games after the casual council meeting! Uh-huh.

At today’s Bix Porch party, 8 teen volunteers spent 3 about hours in the sunshine selling hot dogs and cold drinks to the jazz loving audience. Their hard work certainly paid off as they were able to raise a record breaking $455.54! That’s over $100 more than last year’s total. Amazing job teen volunteers…WAHOO!
The money raised from today’s event will be used by the Teen Volunteer Council to support various aspects of teen programming. We can’t wait to see how they’ll choose to spend their earnings.
By the way, the Teen Volunteer Council meetings will start back up in September. They’re held on the second Tuesday of the month, at 5:30, at the Fairmount St. Library. Any teenager can join, so stay tuned to the blog for more details as the TVC season approaches.
A ginormous THANKS to today’s volunteers and their most excellent work!
